The Oscars Have Announced A New Category For The First Time In Over 20 Years, But It’s Not The One I Was Hoping For



Last month, the 96th Academy Awards nominees were announced, and in early March, we’ll see how many Oscars, if any, movies like Oppenheimer, Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon win. Ahead of this prestigious ceremony highlighting the best of the best in the film industry, though, it’s been announced that a new Oscars category has been created for the first time in over 20 years. Unfortunately, it’s not the category I and so many other people have been hoping would be added to the lineup.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences today that starting with the 98th Academy Awards, i.e. the 2026 ceremony covering movies released in 2025, the Academy Awards will give out one of those golden trophies for Best Achievement in Casting. Per Academy CEO Bill Kramer and Academy President Janet Yang, this new award will highlight how casting directors “play an essential role in filmmaking,” and in a separate joint statement, Academy Casting Director Branch governors Richard Hicks, Kim Taylor-Colman and Debra Zan said that “this award is a deserved acknowledgment of our casting directors’ exceptional talents and a testament to the dedicated efforts of our branch.”
