“1917” and “Little Women” were nominated alongside blockbusters like “Avengers: Endgame” and “Toy Story 4” for the Casting Society of America’s Artios Awards, which released its list of film nominees on Monday.
The winners will be revealed on Jan. 30 in ceremonies in Los Angeles, New York City and London. Ron Funches will serve as host for the Los Angeles event, with Michelle Buteau hosting of the New York ceremony.
“The art of casting for film continued to shine this year, as represented in this noteworthy list of projects. Joining our television and theatre nominees, these talented Casting Directors exemplify the range of skills and expertise throughout our craft,” said CSA president Russell Boast said in a statement.
“The 35th Artios Awards will put a spotlight on the year’s outstanding contributions from our members as we collectively build on this year’s achievements for an even stronger future.”
In addition to awards presented for casting in film, television and theatre, the CSA will present the Hoyt Bowers Award to Deborah Aquila, a three-time Artios winner for her work on “La La Land,” “My Week With Marilyn,” and “Red.” British casting veteran Andy Pryor, who has done casting for TV shows like “Doctor Who” and “Call the Midwife,” will receive the Excellence in Casting Award at the London ceremony.
