Film News: Art Directors Guild Nominees include ‘Potter’ and ‘Tinker Tailor’

Another award with more nominees! This time it is the Art Directors Guild who have announced their nominations for Best Production Design this year. It will be interesting to see who will take these prizes away, given the immense talent in the pool of nominees. There are 3 categories in the ADG awards: period film, fantasy film and contemporary film.

The attention that “Hugo” was given for its production design at its release leads me to believe that they will take the period film award. As an avid Harry Potter fan  predisposed to bias it wouldn’t surprise me to see “Deathly Hallows Pt 2” win the fantasy film category given that this is the last time it will be nominated for awards. As for the contemporary film category, my guess is for “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” to win.

The winners will be announced on Saturday, February 4, 2012.

Below is the full list of nominees:
