Casting Society of America's 2020/21 Artios Awards nominations include some... choices
Will just leave this here, save for noting that they had the cheek to nominate Nate Parker's American Skin, and that, for some utterly unknowable reason, they've put Francis Lee's completely humourless Ammonite up as a comedy. The Casting Society of America may be attempting to take the Independent Press Academy's crown as the most ridiculous awards group of them all! Winners will be announced on the 15th of April, and honestly I'm pulling for Ammonite, because that really would be funny.
