With that in mind - I think more about next draft - since this season is over for me.
I think with more movies going to streaming it's time to consider creative options.
I like 2 fewer rounds - gives us something to have on the Waiver wire.
And I really like some type of Oscar "bonus"
I'd propose $25 million for a Best Pic nomination. 5 million for any additional nomination in any category.
So this plays out like - Round 9 and I'm debating between The Irishman (which won't report) and Playing with Fire - which I think will get $40 million. Do I bet on the Irishman getting 7-8 awards. In which case it's the better pick? Or go with John Cena.
Does someone take a risk on Parasite and end up with a pleasant surprise instead of a total dud like Playmobil.
Marriage Story becomes an option.
But maybe you take a gamble on The Aeronauts and it turns out to be a non-nominee. There's risk and reward.
I don't think it should be for too much money - I'm thinking enough to make rounds 10-14 more interesting and more challenging.
Thought I'd throw this out there now before the actual Oscar noms come around. Then maybe we could adjust depending on how we see those play out.
Not sure of other options to add more movies to the mix - but I'd be open.
I like some of these ideas. It seems we will be (gradually) be returning to a time (like the 70's/80s) when only 1-2 films were released into theaters per week, so fewer rounds is definitely warranted. As for the Oscar bonus, well, we have time to flesh this out before the next season starts.
