🎬 Welcome to the 2025–2026 Red Carpet Rosters Season!

The new season of Red Carpet Rosters film awards fantasy leagues is here, and the player pool has been fully updated with default pre-draft rankings.

🏆 Drafts Open Now

Leagues are free to conduct their drafts at any time.

• The season kicks off with the Gotham Awards nominations on October 28, so make sure your league drafts before then if you want a full season including the first matchup.
• The matchup schedule and full awards calendar aren’t available yet, but they will be published by the start of the season. Drafting is not affected by this.

✨ What’s New This Season?

1. Casting Directors Join the Game
   • CAST is the new position designation.
   • By default, leagues will see their CIN/EDIT slot expanded to CIN/EDIT/CAST, allowing casting directors to be drafted.
   • Commissioners may choose to revert back if they’d like.
   • Points for Best Casting will now go directly to the casting director (not the film).
   • Best Ensemble points still go to the Picture.
   • ⚠️ Heads up: only a handful of organizations recognize casting awards so far, so many casting directors will be more of a draft-and-stash play this season.
2. Switch from IMDb to TMDB Data
   • All player pages now link to TMDB.
   • TMDB includes gender indicators, including non-binary.
   • Cast members identified as non-binary will now have dual eligibility as both ACTR and ACTRS. They’ll appear in your lineups as ACTR-ACTRS.

📅 Season Timeline

• Regular Season Start: October 28 (Gotham nominations)
• Playoffs Begin: January 22 (98th Academy Awards nominations)
• Championship Round: March 15 (98th Academy Awards winners)

Red Carpet Rosters is fantasy football meets film awards season. Instead of drafting quarterbacks and running backs, you’re drafting films, cast, and crew. Instead of touchdowns and rushing yards, your team gets points for nominations and wins at every critics, industry, and Academy Award ceremony. It combines the thrill of fantasy sports with the prognostication of film awards. Think Paul Thomas Anderson will get a whole bunch of nominations and wins? Draft him on your team! Think Sean Penn and Jessie Buckley have what it takes to get a bunch of acting awards? Draft them on your team! Love the scores that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross did this year? Draft them on your team!

This site does it all for you and your league. Nowhere else are you going to find automatically calculated fantasy points for your league based on the number of nominations and wins your team gets. Nowhere else are you going to find a regular season with head to head matchups. Nowhere else are you going to find playoffs. Other sites merely have suggestions of rules to run your league, and some poor sap is stuck keeping track of your league by hand. We take care of all that record keeping, and what you’re left with is Red Carpet Rosters, the closest thing you can get to other fantasy sports sites.

Join a league today!

And lastly, Red Carpet Rosters gives a special acknowledgement to Jason Goetz, who graciously allowed us to use his authored code. This code served as the basis for the gameplay functionality. Thanks, Jason!
