The inaugural Easterseals Disability Arts and Culture Awards took place on Saturday, with the HBO Max drama series The Pitt and the Sundance breakout film Take Me Home named among the first winners. IndieWire and Awards Watch both reported that the ceremony, known as The DARCYS, recognizes media projects for outstanding achievement in authentic disability representation. [1][2]

IndieWire reported that the event was formerly known as the Media Access Awards. The ceremony was co-produced by Easterseals Southern California and Film Independent. The awards honor filmmakers, performers, creators, and storytellers who advance disability inclusion and reshape narratives across entertainment and pop culture. [1]

The Pitt is a medical drama television series created by R. Scott Gemmill and starring Noah Wyle. Each season follows emergency department staff at a fictional Pittsburgh trauma center during a single 12-hour shift shown in real time. [4]

Awards Watch reported that the television project Horsegirls and the series All Her Fault were also among the inaugural award winners alongside The Pitt and Take Me Home. [2]
