Art Directors Guild Awards Nominations Revealed

The Art Directors Guild, which honors excellence in production design in motion pictures, television, commercial, and music videos, has just revealed its nominations for the 26th year.

Awards for live-action features are split into three categories of production design: period, fantasy, and contemporary film. There is also a category for animated feature films, as well as a number of specific contenders across television and music video creations.

The ADG Awards winners will be announced during a live in-person ceremony set to be held on March 5th in Los Angeles, California. During the show, Dune director Denis Villeneuve will receive the William Cameron Menzies Award, and The Power of the Dog director Jane Campion will receive the Cinematic Imagery Award.
