- Casting Society announced non-film nominees for its 42nd annual Artios Awards, with three ceremonies scheduled for February 18, 2027, at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, the Edison Ballroom in New York, and One Moorgate Place in London.
- The Pitt (S2) enters TV Series: Drama as a two-time defending Emmy champ, competing against Paradise (S2), Slow Horses (S5), The Diplomat (S3), The Gilded Age (S3), and Your Friends and Neighbors (S2).
- TV Series: Comedy nominees are Abbott Elementary (S5), Hacks (S5), Nobody Wants This (S2), Only Murders in the Building (S5), Shrinking (S3), and The Four Seasons (S2); last month's Comedy Series Emmy winner Widow's Bay failed to land a nod in Comedy or Television Pilot and First Season: Comedy.
- Daniel Swee landed three nominations in Broadway: Comedy or Musical for Becky Shaw, Giant, and Proof, plus a fourth for Meet the Cartozians in New York Theater: Comedy or Drama.
- TV Pilot and First Season: Drama nominees are A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Heated Rivalry, Off Campus, Pluribus, Task, and The Testaments.
- Reality Series: Competition nominees include Beast Games (S2), Love Island USA (S7), Pop Culture Jeopardy! (S2), RuPaul's Drag Race (S18), The Challenge: Vets & New Threats (S41), and Top Chef (S23).
Why it matters: The Artios Awards are the only industry honors dedicated specifically to casting directors, a craft that rarely gets its own spotlight outside of this ceremony. The Pitt and Heated Rivalry nominations alongside veteran series like Slow Horses and The Diplomat suggest the casting branch is validating a new wave of prestige drama, while Widow's Bay's snub despite its recent Comedy Series Emmy win shows the Artios voters aren't simply mirroring the TV Academy's picks.
