🎬 Welcome to the 2026–2027 Red Carpet Rosters Season!

✨ What’s New This Season?
- EVERYTHING! This isn’t an exaggeration, though the actual gameplay itself is relatively unchanged. For a more detailed list of the rules, head over to the FAQs/Rules page. What did change is every single feature is easier to use.
- A Real Playoff Bracket – The Ladder
- Instead of a handful of teams making the playoffs, EVERY team does.
- Five rounds. Win, move up. Lose, move down.
- Even lower seeds have a genuine path all the way to the Championship (i.e., The Academy Awards).
- Overall Rank
- A live, in-season player ranking that updates every time points comes in.
- Smarter than raw point totals since it accounts for player position.
- Great for waiver-wire decicions and late-season drafts alike.
- Waivers and Free Agency
- ALL leagues, both public and private, will follow waiver rules, where teams lower in the standings get first dibs. Waivers will be processed the night before EVERY matchup.
- In the window between when waivers are processed and when starting lineups lock the next day, all unowned players will be first-come, first-serve.
- A Whole New Look
- Red Carpet Rosters has a fresh new wardrobe.
- Every page has undergone improvements.
- And now player photos are throughout the site.

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 Christopher Nolan will get a whole bunch of nominations and wins? Draft him on your team! Think Tom Cruise and Julianne Moore have what it takes to get a bunch of acting awards? Draft them on your team! Love the scores that Ludwig Göransson did this year? Draft him 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.
