The Art Directors Guild has unveiled nominees for 21st annual Excellence in Production Design Awards, with contenders in 11 categories announced this morning in theatrical motion pictures, TV, commercials and music videos. Winners will be revealed February 11 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland.
Among the notables of the the film side, Marvel returns to the mix with a nom for Doctor Strange in the Fantasy category, where Guardians Of The Galaxy won last year — both are from production designer Charles Wood. Doctor Strange is joined by Paramount’s Arrival, Warner Bros’ Fantastic Beast, Sony’s Passengers and Disney’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
Among the winners last year back as nominees this year: HBO’s Game Of Thrones in One-Hour Period Or Fantasy Single-Camera Series, a return for last year’s winner Deborah Riley; Silicon Valley and Richard Toyon in Half Hour Single-Camera Series; CBS’ The Big Bang Theory and Richard Schaffner in Multi-Camera Series; Derek McLane for the 2016 Oscars broadcast in Awards Or Event Special; and IFC’s Portlandia in Variety, Reality Or Competition Series.
This year’s noms feature a tie in two categories, with an extra nominee making the cut in the Period Film and Variety, Reality or Competition Series contests.
During the awards ceremony next month, My Fair Lady production designer Gene Allen will be enshrined into the ADG Hall of Fame. Four Lifetime Achievement Awards will also be presented: to production designer René Lagler, scenic artist Albert Obregon, set designer Cate Bangs and senior illustrator Joseph Musso.
