Membership structure and notable omissions
The Casting Society is a membership-based organization for its awards. This structure means some notable casting directors are absent from the nominee list. For example, Emmy-winning casting directors Allison Jones and Emily Buntyn, recognized for their work on Widow’s Bay, did not receive Artios nominations.
The winners will be announced at galas at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, The Edison Ballroom in New York, and One Moorgate Place in London, UK on Thursday, February 18, 2027.
