Big change in Oscars, now those who find and bring your favorite stars will also get honour.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Oscars is the biggest award in the film world. Every year we see that the best actor, best director and best movie get awards. But have you ever wondered who selected those actors for that role? Who decided whether Leonardo would play the role of Jack in ‘Titanic’ or who would play ‘Barbie’? This work is done by ‘Casting Directors’. These people were fighting for their identity for decades and now finally the Oscar giving body (The Academy) has accepted their point. A new category of ‘Best Casting’ is going to be added to the Oscars. But, famous casting director Bernard Telsey says that it is still very difficult for people to understand what their work actually is. Come, let us understand this whole news and the world of casting in simple words. Casting Directors: ‘Unsung Heroes’ of the film. When we watch a film and say, “Man, what a role this actor has played, he fits it perfectly!”, then half of that praise goes to the casting director who found him out of the crowd of thousands of people. For so many years, he did not get any category in the Oscars. Bernard Telsey says the biggest reason for this was that “people don’t see the work.” When a cameraman works, you see beautiful visuals. When an editor works, you see the flow of the scene. But the casting director’s work is ‘invisible’. If the casting is right, you will only see the ‘character’ and not the hard work behind it. Why is this difficult to understand? Bernard Telsey explains that not only the general public, but many people in the film industry also do not understand that casting is not just about saying “yes or no”. People think that casting just means picking up a list and calling the big star. Whereas in reality it is like solving a very complex puzzle: understanding the director’s vision. Seeing whether the ‘chemistry’ between two actors will work or not. Finding that ‘magic’ in a new face that no one else is seeing. ‘Better late than never’ This new category in the Oscars is going to start from 2026 (for films released in 2025). This is a huge victory in film history. Telsi believes that now when people will see casting directors taking the trophy on TV, then the world will understand that their contribution in making a film is no less than that of a superstar. So next time when you watch a film and you think “Wow! What a casting”, then you will understand that behind it is the amazing eye of a jeweller.
