The Art Directors Guild (ADG) has announced that Dune (fantasy), Nightmare Alley (period), and No Time to Die (contemporary) won the top film prizes at the 26th Annual Art Directors Guild Awards, which took place Saturday night at the Intercontinental Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles.
The ADG Awards honor excellence in production design in theatrical motion pictures, television, commercials, music videos, and animated feature films.
This year’s crop of nominees notably did not include top awards titles such as Belfast, Cyrano, The Power of the Dog, and Spencer, but ADG winners such as Dune and Nightmare Alley will be up against TPOTD at the Oscars along with The Tragedy of Macbeth and West Side Story.
The guild honored The Power of the Dog filmmaker Jane Campion with its Cinematic Imagery Award and fete Dune director Denis Villeneuve with the William Cameron Menzies award. Villeneuve thanked his longtime production designer Patrice Vermette, who couldn’t personally accept the award because he’s off prepping Dune: Part Two, and also credited Legendary exec Mary Parent for convincing him to tackle the epic sci-fi tale in the first place.
