DC and Las Vegas Critics Nominations Reaction
My hometown critics group announced their nominations, and as always they are solid nominations. They also are very conscientious of making sure the actual technical directors are named in their nominations, not just saying a film for, say, Best Production Design. More organizations should follow suit. Also a matter of housekeeping, we’re getting really into…

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…

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.)…

Gotham Awards Reaction
The first major precursor awards were announced on November 28, 2022, the Gotham Awards. Everything Everywhere All at Once was the big winner of the evening, so let’s take a dive into the winners. Everything Everywhere All at Once wins Best Feature A24’s highest grossing movie now has a Best Feature win under its belt,…
