Junie Lowry-Johnson, casting director for HBO's True Blood vampire drama series, won a 2009 Artios Award for Best Casting for a Television Pilot - Drama at The Casting Society of America's 25th Annual Artios Awards ceremony held at The Times Center, in the newly built New York Times Building. True Blood's Carrie Preston (Arlene Fowler) was on hand at the awards ceremony as a presenter, and comedian Janeane Garofalo hosted the event. 
The Artios Awards recognizes outstanding achievement in casting based on the criteria of originality, creativity and contribution of casting to the overall quality of a project. The term "Artios" is from the ancient Greek word meaning "perfectly fitted." Earlier this year, Junie won a Golden Globe and an Emmy for her casting work on True Blood, but since the Artios Awards are presented by her peers in the field, this award is a true testament to her work.
