Great performances demand great actors. And casting directors. But while the former gets plenty of recognition, the latter—not so much. Until last week.

On March 5, Twitter user Gizmo challenged the Internet, saying: "What's the best casting you've ever seen?" To make things easier, she even went first and submitted her own answer: Wyatt Oleff and Andy Beam who played young and grown-up Stanley Uris in It.
