Casting Society honored achievements in casting across film, television and theater on Thursday night with its 38th annual Artios Awards. CSA celebrated with three star-studded award ceremonies, the first in-person celebrations in three years. Yvette Nicole Brown hosted the Los Angeles show at the Beverly Hilton, while Amber Ruffin hosted in New York’s Edison Ballroom and Gordon Griffin M.B.E. at London’s Union Club.
Among the film winners were Oscar-nominated features Everything Everywhere All at Once, which received the Zeitgeist Award. Marcel the Shell With Shoes On won in the animation category, while The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin won for big budget film (drama) and studio or independent film (drama), respectively.
Among the television winners were Abbott Elementary and Yellowjackets, both earning prizes for TV pilot/first season. Hacks and Succession won the prizes for comedy and drama casting, respectively, while Dopesick won for limited series. The Tony-winning revivals of Take Me Out and Company were honored in the theatrical categories.
Special honorees include EGOT winner Rita Moreno, who was presented with the Lynn Stalmaster Award for Career Achievement. Leslee Feldman, head of casting at Amblin, received the Hoyt Bowers Award for excellence in casting and outstanding contribution to the profession — an honor presented by Oscar winner Octavia Butler, which included a special video tribute from Steven Spielberg.
Tony winner LaChanze accepted the Marion Dougherty New York Apple Award on behalf of Black Theatre United, which was honored for its commitment to the New York entertainment industry through collaboration with casting professionals.
Jessica Sherman was the recipient of the Rosalie Joseph Humanitarian Award, which Simone Bär received a posthumous European Capelier-Shaw Award, with Bär’s casting partner Alexandra Montag accepting the award on her behalf.
The Associated Casting Director/Unscripted Casting Producer Spotlight Awards went to Joy Gordo in Los Angeles, the first unscripted member to receive the honor; the Chicago-based Jenn Noyes in New York, who is the first regional member to receive the honor; and Martin Ware in London, the first European member to receive the honor.
Finally, the London-based United Agents received the Creative Collaboration Award from the European Board of Governors.
