…And the Oscar for Best Casting Goes To…
Yes, it’s time for my annual rant about The Academy’s Big Insult.
Despite the BAFTAs getting on board with a Casting category in 2019 there is still no Oscar for Best Casting even though the current president of the Academy’s Board of Governors is a Casting Director. David Rubin’s credits include The Talented Mr Ripley and Lars and the Real Girl. I like to think he’s working behind the scenes to change the hearts and minds of the old guard.
