nomioptions that recieve a nomination will cash out at $10 ($12 for best movie). Nomioptions that do not recieve a nomination will cash out at $0.
Players invest long in the ones they think will be picked, and many players also short the ones they feel will not recieve the nomination so they can profit on the ones that get the nominations AND the ones that dont.
At reset tonight, or when the intial shares are purchased, then the nomioptions will start behaving like regular stocks and the prices will move according to players purchases of the stock.
