  • 69: Who Will Win Out of the 2022 Academy Award Nominated Films?

    Hello listeners; this week we're continuing to resolve our various technical issues that have been delaying episodes, but we've got one (barely) out in time for Oscars season for you here! We're doing a fantasy style draft of the Academy Award nominated films trying to grab the movies that will win the most awards, but we're putting a slight limitation on it - each nomination a film has counts for $1, and our teams of five cannot exceed a $20 budget, so a selection of The Power of the Dog in the first round would mean the drafter is putting 60% of their budget behind it. What's our strategy based on this rule? And which films do we think will make the most of their nominations? Listen in to find out!
