Casting Society of America (CSA) has unveiled the television, theatre, short film and short form series nominees for the 37th Artios Awards, which honor the contribution of casting directors in these categories. The winners will be revealed on Thursday, March 17, 2022, when the Artios Awards returns for an in-person gala at The Beverly Hilton Hotel. The annual celebration will also mark CSA’s 40th year.
Submissions for film nominees will open on December 15 with nominations to be announced on January 31, 2022. Honorees for the Hoyt Bowers Award For Excellence In Casting, Lynn Stalmaster Award For Career Achievement, Marion Dougherty New York Apple Award, Rosalie Joseph Humanitarian Award, and the Associate Spotlight Award, will be announced at a later date and then presented during the Artios ceremony.
As Broadway was shut down on March 12, 2020, with shows only recently opening, a new category, “Virtual Theater,” was created exclusively for the 2022 Artios Awards in celebration of the perseverance of the Broadway community to bring this form of the theater experience to the public in 2020/2021.
