In a very rare move by the Academy, a new competitive Oscar will be introduced—one that casting directors have fought for since at least the 1990s.
Following decades of calls for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to recognize casting directors during its annual awards, the organization’s Board of Governors announced on Thursday that it will finally do just that. Beginning with the 2026 ceremony—that is, beginning with films released in 2025—the Oscars will bestow an annual, competitive Academy Award for achievement in casting.
“They can think of lots of other things to give awards for, but they’re not moving in that direction.” Indeed, a casting-award proposal was previously discussed by the governors back in 1999—and was ultimately rejected. Yet casting directors make up a whole branch of the Academy , and the craft is recognized by other awards bodies including the Emmys.
