The Talent Managers Association Announces The 2022 Heller Award Nominees  Image

After an extended pause due to the Covid-19 pandemic, The Heller Awards will return in-person Thursday, November 10th, 2022 at the Taglyan Complex in Los Angeles.

Presented by the Talent Managers Association, the awards celebrate distinguished individuals for excellence in the industries of talent representation and casting in honor of TMA co-founder Seymour Heller.

2019's presentation honored Lifetime Achievement recipients Mike Fenton, Cindy Osbrink, and Ed Spivia alongside Impact Award recipient The Cameron Boyce Foundation and TMA Manager of the Year Betty McCormick. The event was hosted by Mindy Sterling and presenters included Dakota Fanning, Colin Ford, and Booboo Stewart.

The 2022 host and honorees will be announced in the coming weeks. The theme for this year's event is Resilience, and the evening will be produced by Victoria Mojica Monroe, Lori Kay and Tammy Wallace on behalf of the TMA, with direction by Ryan Guess.

The 2022 Heller nominees are voted by the TMA Membership. For more information on The Heller Awards and to purchase tickets, visit TheHellerAwards.com; to learn more about the Talent Managers Association, check out TalentManagers.org and follow the TMA on social media at @TalentMgrsAssoc.
