Casting Director Category for Ocsars

It would be like Pat Riley getting lauded for signing the big 3. LeBron, Bosh, and Wade were good?!?! No shite.

There is an art to it. There's a reason the casting director for valentines day didn't win an Oscar.

There's no category yet, but i keep reading people want it added...

don't the roles basically get offered to the top dogs without having to audition...

For a one or two person movie you'd have a point. I've heard it argued that casting is the only major aspect of putting together a movie that lacks a specific award.

The complaint of people who are casting directors is that the directors don't want to acknowledge the crucial role they play in choosing the right person for the right part and how this shapes the final product. Sometimes an inspired choice makes a movie more than anything else.
