The Casting Society of America has a mercenary, a musical and an Afghanistan war comedy on deck for its annual Artios Awards nominations, which honor achievement in casting.
“Deadpool,” “La La Land” and Tina Fey’s “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” are among the 2017 nominees in categories like comedy and drama in either big budget or independent brackets.
Amy Adams, Jake Gyllenhaal, Armie Hammer and Michael Shannon made the grade for Tom Ford’s “Nocturnal Animals” for Outstanding Casting in a Drama, as did “Arrival,” “Hidden Figures,” “The Girl on the Train” and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.”
For big budget comedy, “Deadpool,” “La La Land” and “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” are joined by “Rules Don’t Apply” and “Hail, Caesar!”
Joel McHale and actor Michael Urie will host ceremonies in Los Angeles and New York, respectively, both on Jan. 19. Annette Bening will receive the Lynn Stalmaster Award for Career Achievement, and J.J. Abrams will give casting director Nina Gold the Hoyt Bowers Award.
All nominees were submitted by CSA members and met eligibility requirements for projects that were released from June 1, 2015 through May 31, 2016. The CSA has added the foreign language film category to this year’s honors.
