The ADG is the next guild to weigh in and most egregiously and inexplicably, in my opinion, they snubbed the superb 1950's art direction of both Carol and Brooklyn. I have no idea what that's about, since both had colorful, note perfect production design, the kind that the guild usually goes for. Did they cancel each other out?
Art Direction- Period
- Bridge of Spies
- The Danish Girl
- Crimson Peak
- The Revenant
- Trumbo
Art Direction- Contemporary
- Ex Machina
- Joy
- The Martian
- Sicario
- Spectre
Art Direction- Fantasy
- Cinderella
- Jurassic World
- Mad Max: Fury Road
- Star Wars: The Force Awakens
- Tomorrowland
The Oscars choices for art direction will probably include the flashy period sets of Bridge of Spies, Crimson Peak and The Danish Girl, and if the branch comes to their senses, should also choose Brooklyn and Carol over Trumbo and The Revenant.
