The Casting Society (CSA) has announced the nominees for the 40th Annual Artios Awards, which will celebrate the work done by casting professionals across theatre, film, and television throughout the previous season.
Artios is a wide-ranging award ceremony, honoring casting work in the realms of television, theatre, commercials, feature film, short film, and short form series. In addition, two new categories have been added this year: casting for International Film, and for International Television Series.
This year's winners will be announced at galas at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, the Edison Ballroom in New York, and White City House in London on February 12, 2025.
Nominees for all but the feature film categories have now been announced. Submissions for feature film nominees open November 13, and nominees will be announced in January 2025. Honorees for The Hoyt Bowers Award for Excellence in Casting, Lynn Stalmaster Award For Career Achievement, Marion Dougherty New York Apple Award, and The Capelier-Shaw Award, which are also presented during the Artios ceremonies, will be announced at a later date.
