All Fantasy Teams after Matchup #2
Matchup #1 is still exerting its influence over the All-Fantasy Teams, but we have some new inclusions into the All-Fantasy Teams as more mainstream awards were announced. If you’re the owner of any of these, you’re probably doing pretty good. All Fantasy 1st Team Position Player Points PIC Everything Everywhere All at Once, PIC 31…

Waiver Wire Rankings – Matchup #3
Matchup #2 was a DOOZY! We got Top 10 lists from AFI, NBR, and AAFCA. We also saw early round draft picks earn their first points of the season. But that’s all in the past. Instead, let’s look to the future and see if there is value on the waiver wire ahead of Matchup #3.…

AFI Top Ten Reaction
The American Film Institute’s (AFI) Top Ten award is easily one of my favorite announcements of the film awards season. For one thing, it’s a very important precursor for the Oscars, but it also gives teams an idea for a waiver wire pickup to replace that inevitable PIC bust that happens each year. Likely all…

National Board of Review Reaction (feat. AAFCA Top 10 and HCA Creative)
The oft anticipated National Board of Review capped off a busy day of awards nominations and winners announcement (i.e. fantasy points.) Did we gain some clarity on important races? Probably not, but we can dream, can we? Let’s get into it. RRR is having a moment Do you think the committee who picked India’s official…

Satellite Award and DiscussingFilm Nominations Reaction
We had two big nomination announcements, leading to a whole bunch of points: the DiscussingFilm Critics Nominations and the International Press Academy Satellite Awards Nominations, the latter earning two points for each of its nominees. We saw a lot of draft picks earn their first points of the season at least one of these, including…

Atlanta Film Critics Circle Winners Reaction
The Atlanta Film Critics Circle announced their winners, and in a atypical fashion, they announced nominations in only two categories honoring breakthrough performance and breakthrough directing. Charlotte Wells continued her dominance of the breakthrough directing (also earning SIX points from BIFA, which does not have one of my reaction posts) while Austin Butler got the…

All Fantasy Teams after Matchup #1
Matchup #1 is, by far, the quirkiest matchup in all of the regular season, so the All Fantasy Teams will look quite different as the season progresses. Nonetheless, let’s take a look at the All Fantasy Teams thus far. All Fantasy 1st Team Position Player Points PIC All That Breathes, DOC 30 ACTR Paul Mescal,…

New York Film Critics Circle Winners Reaction
The New York Critics Circle always offers some surprises, but one thing is certain: a win here will mean there will be wins later. Maybe those wins won’t translate to an Oscar nomination (Lady Gaga won Best Actress last year for House of Gucci, but was not nominated for an Oscar as one example), but…

Waiver Wire Rankings – Matchup #2
Here are my overall waiver wire rankings ahead of Matchup #2. These rankings are for unowned players that are available in multiple leagues at Red Carpet Rosters. This list is not exhaustive. For more waiver wire ideas, check out the Statistics>Players page in your League. To make a waiver wire request, simply go to My…

Sunset Circle Winners Reaction
This is a short reaction, mostly because the Sunset Circle Awards are included in Red Carpet Rosters not because they are an established regional critics association (they’re not) but because the principal voting members put out Oscar predictions that I rely on to generate pre-draft rankings (Erick Weber’s Awards Ace and Sasha Stone’s Awards Daily.)…
