Casting Society Reveals TV, Theater Nominees for 40th Artios Awards

Casting Networks is pleased to congratulate the Casting Society’s TV and Theater nominees for the 40th Artios Awards, presented by Spotlight, which honor and celebrate the top casting professionals in the entertainment industry.

Two new categories have been added to this year’s lineup as well: Casting for International Film and Casting for International Television Series.

The TV categories are show-specific, as submissions for feature film nominees open on November 13. Those nominees will be announced in January.

Recipients of 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, will also be announced at a later date.

This year’s Artios winners will be announced on February 12, 2025. The awards ceremony will take place at galas at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, the Edison Ballroom in New York, and White City House in London.

“Congratulations to all of the nominees on their incredible work, including those in our expanded international casting categories, which underscores the global reach of the casting profession,” said CSA president Destiny Lilly. “We look forward to once again gathering our community to honor the incredible achievements in casting globally in February.”
