Easterseals' Disability Arts Awards Rebrand as The DARCYS, With 'The Pitt' Among the First Winners

The Easterseals Disability Arts & Culture Awards has been rebranded, and its first outing under the new name — The DARCYS — put 'The Pitt' and 'Take Me Home' among the winners, IndieWire reports. Award bodies tend to rename themselves when they want a marquee identity rather than a descriptive one, and the trade is easy to see: a full title spells out a mission, while a short name fits on a backdrop. One ceremony's worth of winners is the whole record so far.
