The Oscar awards are enriched with a new category, casting director.
This was announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the body that organizes the most coveted cinema awards.
The last time a new category was created dates back to 2001, 'best animated film', but we will have to wait until 2026 to see the new award assigned.
In fact, films that will be released in 2025 will be considered.
The new award will help give recognition to categories that are often ignored because they work behind the scenes but nevertheless have a key role in the final result of a film.
In particular, the casting director, the person responsible for casting, is the figure who is responsible for coordinating the casting, i.e. the work of research and selection of the most suitable actors to interpret the characters present in the screenplay for the production of a cinematographic work.
The 96th Academy Awards will take place on March 10th.
An Italian director, Matteo Garrone, entered the race with 'IoCapitano'.
The film is Italy's official candidate for best international film.
