Oscar Nominees For New Casting Category Each See Their Actors Nominated For A Lead Acting Award

After many years, casting directors are finally getting their accolades at the Oscars with the new Achievement in Casting category. While this category is new, it’s not surprising who was nominated when you also look at the Best Acting categories.

Hamnet‘s Nina Gold, Marty Supreme‘s Jennifer Venditti and The Secret Agent‘s Gabriel Domingues have received nominations this morning for their roles as casting directors for each film. Not only is their success marked by this nomination, but their work can also be represented by all three films having a nominee in a lead acting category. Hamnet has Jessie Buckley nominated for lead actress, while Marty Supreme‘s Timothée Chalamet and The Secret Agent‘s Wagner Moura both got nominations for lead actor.

Sinners casting director Francine Maisler stood out among the crowd as not only is she nominated herself, but the film also has three acting nominations.
