Artios Award for Outstanding Achievement in Casting – Big Budget Feature (Comedy)

The Artios Award for Outstanding Achievement in Casting - Big Budget Feature (Comedy) is an award handed out annually by the Casting Society of America. The award, in its current incarnation, was first awarded in 2010, when the category made the distinction of award comedic films with larger budgets, and studio backing. Previously, since the second awards ceremony in 1986, the category had only held the distinction of Outstanding Achievement in Feature Film Casting – Comedy. The award honors the casting directors of higher-budgeted, in comparison to independently-backed, films that the voting body believes featured the best casting.
