  1. So, pretty much you get an Oscar if you hire Pedro Pascal for your movie? I’m good with that.

  2. I think that’s a good addition. Often times I come out of a movie thinking damn, what a perfect cast.

  3. That’s a nice addition, also should add one for the stunts!

  4. Nice! In one of my classes at film school they explained the reason tv usually celebrates casting more than film is become in film the main Casting Director is the actual director of the film.

  5. They will not call it a casting director. Maybe they’ll create a new term like castatographer.

  6. Give Rob Zombie an Oscar for casting The Devils Rejects in 05

  7. An insult to stunt performers and another great reason to not watch the academy awards.

  8. I’ll be impressed when there’s an Oscar for best transportation captain.

  9. Kinda odd because the director and producers are the ones with the final call when it comes to casting .

  10. I need to go back to past threads and see what people predicted as most likely new category. This didn’t seem the most popular pick, but there have been some wanting it.

  11. Now all they need is a best catering award and I would finally tune in

  12. If this category existed for last year’s films, here would be my personal nominees:

    Barbie

    The Holdovers

    Saltburn

    Anatomy of a Fall

    Poor Things

  13. Being John Malkovich deserves as retroactive Oscar for casting.

  14. Best stunts and best trailer/preview over hear like 💀

  15. Whoever cast Topher Grace as Eddie Brock should get a lifetime ban
