Wicked, Nosferatu, Conclave, Shogun, The Penguin, Fallout and Squid Game were among the winners at the Art Directors Guild Awards on Saturday night.
The 29th annual Excellence in Production Design Awards were handed out by the Art Director’s Guild (ADG, IATSE Local 800) at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown during an event hosted by comedian Rachael Harris.
The ADG wins will have the attention of those looking for signs of who will take the Academy Award for production design. The winner of the ADG’s fantasy film honor have taken home the production design Oscar three times in the past six years, with Poor Things, Dune and Black Panther all going on to win the Oscar. The period film winner also won the Oscar twice during this period, with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Mank taking home statues. But in 2023, Babylon took home the ADG period win, but All Quiet on the Western Front won at the Academy Awards.
