Because the Casting Society of America shifted the date of its Artios Awards, this year”s nominees include films released theatrically from July 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2014, paving the way for last year”s Best Picture winner to nuzzle its way into contention along with 2014 hopefuls like “Birdman,” “Boyhood,” and “Selma.”
With categories ranging from Big Budget Drama to Low Budget Comedy, nearly every film that one expects to make the cut made the cut. And then some. The CSA”s nominees put “Guardians of the Galaxy” side by side with “Wolf of Wall Street,” “Whiplash” with “Inside Llewyn Davis,” and Disney”s “Planes” with “Frozen.” If you were dreaming of a re-evaluation of “We”re the Millers,” your time is now.
2015″s bicoastal Artios Awards will be hosted by Patton Oswalt (Los Angeles) and Michael Urie (New York City). The evening will also honor two-time Academy Award®-nominee Richard Linklater (“Boyhood”) with the Career Achievement Award; Academy Award®-nominated and Emmy Award®-winning director Rob Marshall (Into the Woods) with the New York Apple Award; and Emmy Award®-winning casting director Ellen Lewis with the Hoyt Bowers Award. Francine Maisler leads the film contenders with four nominations for her work in casting: “Into the Woods,” “Birdman,” “12 Years a Slave” and “Captain Phillips.”
