Draft order is based on who had the most picks not released in 2024. zwackerm (Untitled Noah Baumbach and Hedda) and stuffp (Long Day's Journey Into Night and The Actor) have 2, while zwackerm had the higher combined picks so he is first. lilmac is 3rd as he had Klara and the Sun. Algren and neo_wolf didn't have any so I randomized it and got Algren picking higher.

1. zwackerm - A Complete Unknown
2. stuffp - A Real Pain
3. lilmac - The Order
4. Algren - The Brutalist
5. neo_wolf - Babygirl

6. neo_wolf - Wicked: Part 1
7. Algren
8. lilmac - The Fire Inside
9. stuffp - The Wild Robot
10. zwackerm

Due to its perceived strength, if you pick the Brutalist you do not get a Round 2 pick.

Otoh you had the first overall pick so having last in this one is fair in its way.

Give him Mufasa. He loves Disney. Or if he doesn't care lets redistribute his picks to the other players ;)
