The Artios Awards recognized many of the year’s Oscar hopefuls and several under-the-radar streaming titles in its film nominations Tuesday

The Casting Society’s annual Artios Awards, which recognize superior achievement in the casting of film, TV and theater projects, has announced the nominees for its film categories, which range from $200 million blockbusters to low-and-micro budget titles.

Anticipated Oscar darlings such as “Elvis,” “Tar,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Fabelmans” and “Glass Onion” are present along with juggernauts “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “The Batman.”

But the real surprises are the smaller titles that have gotten little awards attention in races so far such as “Bros,” “Emily the Criminal,” “Armageddon Time” and “Spoiler Alert,” along with streaming titles such as AppleTV+’s “Cha Cha Real Smooth” and “Causeway,” Netflix’s “Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical” and “White Noise,” and Amazon’s “Emergency” and “Catherine Called Birdy” among them.

Several casting directors and associates received two nominations, and both Ellen Chenoweth (“Deep Water”, “The Survivor” and “Causeway”) and Mary Vernieu and Bret Howe (“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” “The Menu” and “The Whale”) managed to score three noms each in the large lineup.

Below is the entire list of films and casting directors nominated for the 38th annual Artios Awards. The awards will be handed out at the Beverly Hilton on Thursday, March 9.
