1/5/18
Yesterday the Art Directors Guild (ADG, IATSE Local 800) announced the nominations for the 22nd edition of their Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards in theatrical motion pictures, television, commercials, music videos and, for the first time, animation features.  The announcement was made by Art Directors Guild President Nelson Coates and Awards Producers Thomas Walsh and Thomas Wilkins.

As previously announced, ADG Awards will honor eight-time Academy Award Nominee Katheleen Kenedy with the Cinematic Imagery Award. The “William Cameron Menzies Award” will honor Disney’s Oscar nominated animation filmmakers Ron Clements and John Musker. A special Leadership Award will be bestowed upon International IATSE President Matthew D. Loeb. The Outstanding Creative Achievement Award will be given to Production Designer Michael Baugh. Lifetime Achievement Awards will be presented to Production Designer Norm Newberry Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated Production Designer/Set Designer James Murakami, Scenic Artist John Moffitt, and Senior Illustrator/Art Director Martin Kline. The late Oscar-winning Production Designer Sir Ken Adam (Dr. Strangelove, James Bond) Senior Illustrator and Bambi’s Concept Designer Tyrus Wong will be inducted into the ADG Hall of Fame.

ADG Awards are open only to productions when made within the U.S. by producers signatory to the IATSE agreement. Foreign entries are acceptable without restrictions.

Not easy to guess which film could win the Oscar in the production design category and neither to guess the Oscar nominees but in the past five years, the winner of period film went to win the Oscar twice, once was fantasy category winner and once was contemporary category winner.  So our best guess will come when we learn the Oscar nominees and learn ADG winners as of now it's hard to do estimates.  For me, production design award-deserving movies are Blade Runner 2049 and Wonder Woman, then perhaps Logan; the other nominees have good production design but nothing that could be out-of-the-ordinary.

These are the Nominees

Period Film
Sarah Greenwood for Darkest Hour
Nathan Crowley for Dunkirk
Jim Clay for Murder on the Orient Express
Rick Carter for The Post
*Paul Denham Austerberry for The Shape of Water

Fantasy Film
Sarah Greenwood for Beauty and The Beast
*Dennis Gassner for Blade Runner 2049
Rick Heinrichs for Star Wars: The Last Jedi
James Chinlund for War of the Planet of the Apes
Aline Bonetto for Wonder Woman

Contemporary Film
Stefania Cella for Downsizing
Rusty Smith for Get Out
Chris Jones for Lady Bird
*Francois Audouy for Logan
Inbal Weinberg for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri

Animated Film
William Cone and Jay Shuster for Cars 3
*Harley Jessup for Coco
Olivier Adam for Despicable Me 3
Grant Freckelton for The Lego Batman Movie
Matthew Button for Loving Vincent

#Oscars2018 Makeup and Hairstyling Shortlist

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday that seven (7) films remain in competition in the Makeup and Hairstyling category for the 90th Academy Awards. On Saturday, January 6, 2018, all members of the Academy’s Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch will be invited to view 10-minute excerpts from each of the seven shortlisted films. Following the screenings, members will vote to nominate three films for final Oscar consideration. Seems that this year there were not many films that qualified for this category and as far as what is happening up-to-today, this category is the first that will not have five nominations. But what puzzles me most is the reason why behind NOT including films like The Shape of Water, Blade Runner 2049 or even Star Wars: The Last Jedi.  Perhaps is because now lines between VFX and makeup blur, especially for us viewers and for those who are trying to guess something in current awards season. The films are listed below in alphabeti...

43rd Annual Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards Winners

The so-called " most powerful " group of American critics voted their 2017 awards and top award went to Luca Guadagnino's Call Me by Your Name which is a surprise in the sense that film in America was the object of negative reviews, especially those related to film story being about " gay statutory rape " (sic). Sigh. Then, under group standards believe voting was "fast" as only took five-and-a-half hours and I recall voting for longer than six hours, lol.  Still was too-long for me to follow live. Most interesting were the awards given to female actors as it's great to see outstanding Sally Hawkins being honored as she has had many-many great performances along her career and Laurie Metcalf being recognized for her work in the big screen. No doubt that group liked Guadagnino's film but thanks to them Guillermo del Toro's latest film has been put in the awards race.  Notorious is how once again the west coast film critics honors differ from...

90th Academy Awards Foreign Language Films Submissions

10/6/17 Update - AMPAS surprised many of us with what we can call an early release of the submitted and accepted films to the foreign language film category as usually takes them 10 days or more to announce the complete list. But more interesting is the amount of countries that had films accepted, a new record (!) with 92 submitting films this year, which are seven (7) more countries/films than last year's 85. There are too many great films in list and too-many films, period. Hopefully new "simplified" process will allow more films to be seen by more people, but believe is just a hope as know that films with strong promotion will have better chances than those without it. Already have received several invitations to private screenings in LA and yes are for films from the great filmmakers as this year list has several master filmmakers like Haneke, Akin, Ostlund, Martel, Roskam, Holland, Lelio, Bartas, Trier, and Zvyagintsev plus perhaps lesser known but already collec...
