- Robert Pattinson — resolved “No” on 27 Oct 2026. The outcome is Yes if Robert Pattinson is named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2026. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the announcement date for the deadline; the resolution depends on whether he holds the title during that specific year.
- Robert Pattinson — the market puts it at 30%, with $146 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Dec 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Robert Pattinson receives a nomination for Best Actor at the 99th Academy Awards.
