The Casting Society of America’s annual Artios Awards, which recognize superior achievement in the casting of film, TV and theater projects, has announced the nominees for its film categories, which range from 200 million blockbusters to low-and-micro budget titles.
Anticipated Oscar darlings such as “Elvis,” “Tar,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Fabelmans” and “Glass Onion” are present along with juggernauts “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “The Batman.” “Top Gun: Maverick” is strangely absent.
But the real surprises are the smaller titles that have gotten little awards attention in races so far such as “Bros,” “Emily the Criminal,” “Armageddon Time” and “Spoiler Alert,” along with streaming titles such as AppleTV+’s “Cha Cha Real Smooth” and “Causeway,” Netflix’s “Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical” and “White Noise,” and Amazon’s “Emergency” and “Catherine Called Birdy” among them.

Exclusive: Hannah Khalique-Brown, the lead actor in writer-director Peter Kosminsky’s (Wolf Hall) six-part cyber-thriller The Undeclared War, — which starts June 30 on Channel 4 and All 4 in UK, Peacock in U.S. on August 18 — tells Deadline that she wrote 1,000 emails over a period of two years “begging“ UK agents and casting directors to see her perform in fringe plays, and “none of them replied.”
“Though, I would occasionally get an automated reply” that still read no, said Khalique-Brown, who has been garnering attention from studios in London and Hollywood.
The 23-year-old said she spent hours studying talent and casting agency websites. “I emailed 180 of them, three times a year, for two years. I wouldn’t blanket email them either. They were all individual emails. I would go on their roster and look at who they represented and I would write that I think I would really fit in.“
