An Oscar for Best Casting Is Set for 2026 — Will Stunt Workers and Voice Actors Be Next?


After the Oscars announced best casting, will categories for stunts and voice acting be next?

The Academy Awards have undergone dramatic changes since its inaugural ceremony, which lasted only 15 minutes and featured 12 categories, with winners announced months in advance. But that hasn’t stopped people from pitching Oscars for best voice performances (despite worthy efforts by Eddie Murphy in “Shrek”), as well as prizes for achievements in motion capture (a place to reward Andy Serkis from “The Lord of the Rings”), title design (any Alfred Hitchcock movie would have been a natural contender ) and music supervision (where Quentin Tarantino has shined the brightest). This year’s BAFTA casting nominees are: “All of Us Strangers” (Kathleen Crawford), “Anatomy of a Fall” (Cynthia Arra), “The Holdovers” (Susan Shopmaker), “How to Have Sex” (Isabella Odoffin) and “Killers of the Flower Moon” (Ellen Lewis and Rene Haynes).
