The 98th Academy Awards introduce a new category: Best Casting, honoring directors who assemble film ensembles. Nominees include Francine Maisler for Sinners, Nina Gold for Hamnet, Jennifer Venditti for Marty Supreme, Cassandra Kulukundis for One Battle After Another, and Gabriel Domingues for The Secret Agent. This recognition is overdue for casting directors, who have shaped movies for decades but were often overlooked. The new category is a game-changer, with criteria focusing on ensembles, bold picks, and supporting roles. Sinners leads predictions, but all nominees deserve the trophy for elevating entire casts.
