The BAFTA Award for Best Casting is a special prize given out each year at the British Academy Film Awards. It celebrates the amazing work of casting directors. These are the people who find the perfect actors for every role in a movie.
This award was first given out at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards in 2020. It was created to recognize how important casting is to making great films.
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) decided to add this award in 2019. Pippa Harris, who leads BAFTA, said that casting is super important for movies. She also mentioned that it helps make sure different kinds of people are shown on screen. This award helps everyone understand the big role casting directors play.
