    The always highly anticipated TIFF People’s Choice awards were announced on Sunday, and La bola negra took home the coveted prize. I thought it was certainly going to win the International People’s Choice Award, but it went all the way to winning the top prize. It was a near-lock to get an Oscar Best Picture…

    With Cannes, Venice, and Telluride behind us and Toronto happening now with their highly anticipated Audience Choice Award, which will VERY likely result in an Oscar Best Picture nomination, now is a great time to take stock of what has already been released to theaters in 2026 to see what is worthy of your consideration…

    Welcome back to more regular blog posts from Red Carpet Rosters! I am thrilled to be back in the writing chair after taking a long hiatus. The site was getting way too demanding, so I spent this off-season doing a complete revamp of the site. EVERYTHING is now easier to do, and I’d like to…

    It’s Red Carpet Rosters draft time! And this year is a strange one. I’m not going to call it a down year. After all, how can it be down when both Hundreds of Beavers and The Substance released to theaters this year? However, it is a year with virtually no clear frontrunners in any category.…

    We didn’t really learn a whole lot from Matchup #4 in terms of waiver suggestions that we didn’t already know. All the prior waiver advice is still valid. And your league may even have some additional valuable picks from impatient owners who dropped players who have underwhelmed but still are good enough to own. Instead,…

    We’re at the point of the regular season where the waiver wire offers some pretty slim pickings. I don’t like to repeat myself often, but my last waiver wire advice does still water as well as the one before that, albeit less so.

    Matchup #2 is all but in the books, and in hindsight, this matchup should’ve been shorter. But when the matchup schedule was finalized, we didn’t know when the AFI was going to announce their top ten films of the year, not to mention nomination announcements from regional critics groups such as  Las Vegas Film Critics…

    We are wrapping up Matchup #1, the quirkiest of all the matchups in the regular season because it skews VERY heavily to documentaries, indie films, and music. I won’t take too deep of a dive into the ceremonies…I mean, you have Google…but I do want to highlight some things we’ve learned from the various awards.…
