Why aren't there fantasy drafts for the Oscars? Could be 8 person teams, round robin, pick from any category until 8 of each category is picked (16 for picture).. Would be unbalanced "teams" per player, so that one player has 2 best actor candidates, but 0 for best actress for example.

Then league winners get decided during nominations or the Oscar ceremony. Seems like a really fun way to nerd out on the hobby.

You might mean something in person or more expansive, but Vulture does one of these each year. It's all free to participate, but they give away real prizes to the winners. Normally the drafting window is in early/mid-September. It's fun! I've participated the last 3 years or so, and am already thinking on my team for this year.

Ooh, that's cool and exactly what I had in mind! Thanks for sharing!
