Casting Society Reveals Nominees for 39th Artios Awards

Casting Networks is pleased to congratulate the nominees for the 39th Artios Awards, which honor the top casting professionals in the entertainment industry.

Submissions for feature film nominees will open on November 10, with nominations to be announced in February.

Honorees for The Hoyt Bowers Award For Excellence In Casting, Lynn Stalmaster Award For Career Achievement, Marion Dougherty New York Apple Award, and the Associate Casting Director/Casting Producer Spotlight Award will be announced at a later date.

A gala ceremony will be held on March 7, 2024, where the winners will be announced. The awards mentioned above will be presented at the gala as well.

In March, Casting Society entered into a multi-year partnership with Talent Systems, parent company of Casting Networks, Spotlight, Cast It and other talent discovery platforms. This partnership kicked off with Spotlight’s presenting sponsorship of the 38th Annual Artios Awards on March 9 and Spotlight will return to sponsor the 39th Artios Awards.

“Each year, the Artios Awards celebrates the work of the casting community to represent a diverse range of fascinating stories authentically, and this collection of nominees underscores that commitment. We look forward to gathering our community together to celebrate these achievements at our 39th Annual event next year,” said Destiny Lilly, CSA President.
