    2026 Oscars Broadcast To Cover All 24 Awards, Including New Casting Prize

    LOS ANGELES (AP) --

    The Oscars are making room for one more award on their live broadcast in 2026. The new prize for achievement in casting will be part of the 98th Academy Awards in March, the academy told The Associated Press on Wednesday.

    That brings the total award count to 24 for the Oscars broadcast on March 15, where statuettes for best picture, best actor and actress will be among the others awarded.

    The board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the addition of the new prize last year, though it was not confirmed if it would be part of the official broadcast. Not counting the short-lived ” popular film Oscar ” which never came to be, the addition of the casting prize marked the first time the academy has added a category since best animated feature film was established in 2001. Earlier this year, the organization also revealed plans to add a stunt design award, starting with the 100th Oscars in 2028.

    Members of the casting directors branch will help narrow the field to 10 shortlisted films, a process that a handful of other categories use including documentary, international film, makeup & hairstyling, score, song, sound, visual effects and the three short film categories. Shortlists will be announced Dec. 16 before final nominees are revealed on Jan. 22.

    Conan O’Brien has already agreed to host the 98th ceremony, which will air live on ABC on March 15 at 7 p.m. ET.

    Station Film Signs Directorial Duo The Dynamic Jewo

    Tuesday, April 21, 2026

    Station Film has signed director duo The Dynamic Jewo, consisting of Carlos Wigle and Aron Fried, for commercial representation in the U.S. Station becomes the first official representation roost for the directing team which is well known for the ongoing comedy campaigns for Morgan & Morgan, the largest injury law firm in the country, which hilariously communicates the firm’s expansive capabilities and resources. That work, which the two also write, perfectly reflects their strength for classic sitcom style storytelling.

    β€œThe Dynamic Jewo are a natural fit for Station,” said Stephen Orent, founding partner, Station Film. β€œThey are talented comedy directors and we know, appreciate and have a strong track record collaborating with some of the best. Their work leans into the conventions of classic comedy directing – strong writing, casting and performance, elevated by filmmaking craft. They have a great sense of humor, too, and a thorough understanding of what it takes to get great work made from their background as creatives. They are a real find, and we are happy to have them on board.”

    The Dynamic Jewo moniker is as unique as the relationship of the duo behind it, and a conscious decision to lean into their roots. Wigle and Fried first met when they were kids at Jewish summer camp where they struck up a life-long friendship. They attended ad school together at Art Institute of California, San Diego, and went on to become an award-winning creative team at DDB; Fried later worked at 72andSunny and at startups such as TOMS and Dollar Shave Club, while Wigle held roles at Anomaly and McCann. They soaked up the craft of directing, working with many of the industry’s top comedy helmers before pitching themselves to Morgan & Morgan... Read More
