Do casting supervisors should have an Oscar category on their own? Definitely, yet several have actually been questioning when feat entertainers and feat planners will certainly be acknowledged also. Those that have actually required a feat Oscar consist of John Wick supervisor Chad Stahelski, that stated last summer season that speaks with the Academy have in fact been rather favorable. “We’ve been meeting with members of the Academy and actually having these conversations, and, to be honest, it’s been nothing but incredibly positive, incredibly instructional,” Stahelski stated. “I think, for the first time, we’ve made real movement forward to making this happen.” The supervisor included that he can see it occurring in the following 3 or 4 years at the most up to date.
