Awards season — who’s up, who’s likely to win and how to keep up
Awards season isn’t just red carpets and speeches. It’s the moment careers get a name on a trophy, clubs brag about nominations and fans argue over who deserved the shout. On CottonCandi News we follow the full sweep — from local league award lists to the big sporting moments that tilt votes. Want straight facts and a fast way to track it all? Read on.
Quick awards to watch
Start with the Premier Soccer League awards: the PSL unveiled its 2024/25 nominees and Orlando Pirates lead the pack — that’s a strong signal which clubs could dominate the ceremony set for late July. If you’re tracking player awards, look for names highlighted in our PSL piece like Lucas Ribeiro Costa and Relebohile Mofokeng — those nominations matter for season-end honours.
In tennis, big match wins can make or break a player’s year. Ben Shelton’s straight-sets win over Taylor Fritz to reach the National Bank Open final against Karen Khachanov is exactly the kind of run that moves award conversations. And when a top player suddenly withdraws — like Novak Djokovic leaving the Australian Open semi-final with a muscle tear — that creates headlines and talk of season-changing decisions from voters.
How to follow and why it matters
Want a practical plan? First, bookmark CottonCandi News’ awards tag page and set a quick alert in your browser or phone for "awards season" — we post nominee lists, ceremony dates and live updates. Second, follow official league and club channels for nominee confirmations; news sites can report nominations early, but organisers post the final lists.
Third, watch the months before ceremonies closely. Transfer moves, late-season form and big finals all shift vote momentum. For example, a player who stars in a major final or posts a string of wins can suddenly become the favourite. That’s why tracking match reports and nomination updates together gives the clearest picture.
Finally, don’t ignore the side stories. Awards seasons bring politics, drama and sometimes legal issues that affect reputations. Our coverage mixes straight results with the context behind them — whether it’s club dominance in nominations or a surprising run that widens a player’s case for an award.
If you want live takes, search the site for posts under the awards season tag — we highlight nominees, ceremony dates and the moments that change the narrative. Want a heads-up when nominees drop or a winner is announced? Turn on site alerts or follow CottonCandi News on social for instant updates.
