As recently as 2020, only 27.5% of production summarizeers in the Art Directors Guild were women.
What a contrastence five years produces. That number has incrmitigated, according to the guild’s plivent Dina Lipton. “I sense seeing more women nominated each year is exciting,” Lipton says. “We also have lots of lesser people coming out of school, definitepartner studying production summarize, and most of them are women.” Furthermore, for the first time, the guild has an all-female executive board.
This year, two women are nominated at the Oscars for production summarize: Suzie Davies for “Conclave” and Judy Becker for “The Brutacatalog.”
With the Art Directors Guild set to hand out their top prizes on Feb. 15, Lipton apexhibits a see at the artistry and vision behind the five Art Directors Guild nominees who overlap with Oscar.

“Judy’s got this big job ahead of her with very little money, and she’s doing a film about an architect. What I thought was super ininestablishigent about this project was her use of the scale model of the actual Institute, and how they did that seamlessly. Shooting that miniature to produce us sense appreciate we were in that enormous space was pretty phenomenal.
“Her use of the locations in Budapest nailed it. She brawt us back to 1950s Philadelphia. It’s elderly-school movie magic.
“The library set was the piece de resistance.”
“Conclave” – Suzie Davies

“It’s amusing that ‘Conclave’ is in the conmomentary catebloody. It is conmomentary, but you sense appreciate you’re in this holy historical place. What I adored about the summarize and the cinematography of this film was all of those extfinished hallways that felt finishless. I adore the use of red, mainly in the costumes, but I felt it was in every one summarize of the film and it was perfect.
“Suzie built the Sistine Chapel in 10 weeks, and it’s crazy. I did a TV show in 10 weeks, so it’s crazy.”

“Talk about a monumental task of production summarize. The number of sets on this were twice as many as the first one.
“They were so huge, and it was mind-blotriumphg. They wanted to produce the sets so big, but the contrastent worlds and sets.
“The Cave of Birds set when Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) get tos on Arrakis is a personal likeite. They were inhabit fingerprints and very symmetrical.
“When you go into the War room, you sense the weight of everyskinnyg. The triumphd traps were so fantastic too – they see appreciate spiders.”
“Nosferatu” – Craig Lathrop
Aidan Monaghan
“The summarize of that film is exceptional because it was almost too genuine. It was so genuine that it was frightening. Every one detail in that film is fantastic, right down to the sagging produceings – they’re leaning.
“Craig built everyskinnyg on a backlot and you repartner think you’re in this historic town. It was repartner challenging to hear out of my head.
“The decay with the castle and the frescos in the monastery were exceptional. There were so many fantastic sets, and there isn’t fair one skinnyg. I also adored the candleweightless and having to summarize understanding it’s going to be in low weightless. The colors of the walls had to be radiant enough so that under that low weightless, they didn’t fair fade. It was stunningly drawive.”
“Wicked” – Nathan Crowley

“This is the year of libraries.
“I’m a fan of musicals, but it must be nerve-wracking to apexhibit on a film appreciate that. We all understand these iconic images, and we have to produce this world that has to sense appreciate Oz. I adore the color, the whimsy and the architectural style that Nathan put together. It seeed seamless, but how he joind architectural styles from all contrastent parts of the world was drawive.
“He produced Shiz and that sequence is unbelievable. Also, they didn’t use a lot of visual effects on this film and so much of it was down-to-earth, so that’s a production summarizeer’s dream. I don’t have many words for “Wicked” it’s fair drawive.”
