Over the past five years, the winner of the ADG’s period film prize has gone on to win the Oscar for production design twice: In 2020, for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and in 2021 for Mank. The production design Oscar went to the winner of the fantasy category in 2019, for Black Panther, and 2022 for Dune. A year ago, eventual Oscar winner All Quiet on the Western Front was nominated in the period film category but Babylon won the ADG Award in that category.

In this year’s ADG animated feature category, the Guild nominated The Boy and the Heron, Elemental, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Noms in various TV categories include The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, The Morning Show and Succession.

As previously announced, production designer Lawrence G. Paull will be inducted into the ADG Hall of Fame during the Feb. 10 awards presentation.

Max Greenfield will host the ceremony.
