    This matchup is VERY quick, lasting only three days! January 9 has NINE ceremonies scheduled, so that last day of the matchup is going to be absolutely wild. At this point of the season, the waiver wire is pretty sparse, but there could be a player that another team dropped, so, as always, the best…

    The Oscar shortlists have been announced! So the waiver wire rankings here are more focused on that than anything else. The technical categories are vitally important in Matchup #8, when many guild awards announce their nominees. You can’t afford to miss out on those points, so jump on the waiver wire now. Also, technical categories…

    We are over the midpoint of the regular season with the conclusion of Matchup #4. This is where it’s becoming quite clear which team is the team to beat, and congratulations if that team is yours. If your team has a couple losses and are on the cusp of making the playoffs, it’s not too…

    If you know anything about fantasy sports and/or if you took a look at my strategy advice, then you know something about value-based drafting or value-based strategies for filling your roster. The idea is fairly simple, and to grasp the idea, you have to start with the basic fundamental of this very simple concept: Winning…

    After a very short, but WILD, Matchup #3, we’re already prepping for Matchup #4. Reminder that waivers are due at 6:00 pm EST and will be processed shortly thereafter. As always, there could be more valuable waivers on your specific league’s waiver wire, so check that first. And for even more waiver wire advice, consult…

    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…

    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.…

    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…

    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…

    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…
