The Casting Society of America has nominated 34 feature films in seven categories for the 31st annual Artios Awards. Among the contenders are Oscar hopefuls, including The Big Short, Brooklyn, Carol, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Straight Outta Compton and Trumbo, as well as small-scale dark horses such as Infinitely Polar Bear and It Follows.
Final ballots have been distributed to the 600 CSA members, with voting to continue through Friday, Jan. 8. All winners for film, television, theater, short film and new media categories will be announced at the 31st annual Artios Awards on Jan. 21, with award ceremonies being held simultaneously at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles and at the Hard Rock Caf in New York.
Among the individuals with multiple noms are Douglas Aibel, Henry Russell Bergstein, Nina Gold, Meagan Lewis, Natalie Lyon, Francine Maisler, Adam Richards, Carolyn Pickman, Kevin Reher, Paul Schnee, Bernard Telsey and Fiona Weir.
As previously announced, Telsey will be given the Hoyt Bowers Award, and the evening will also honor director Danny Boyle ( Steve Jobs ) with the career achievement award; and writing-producing duo Michelle and Robert King ( The Good Wife ) with the New York Apple Award.
