The Art Directors Guild announced the nominations for the 2018 awards and even with three different film categories there were some notable omissions. Potential Oscar nominees “Call Me By Your Name,” “Phantom Thread,” “The Greatest Showman” and “Mother!” were all snubbed while surprise contenders “Murder on the Orient Express,” “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “Logan” (in the Contemporary Film category, no less) made the cut.
“Shape of Water,” “Dunkirk” among likely 2018 Production Design Oscar Nominees
Among the television nominees “The Handmaid’s Tale” earned two nominations, Netflix earned four out of the five One-Hour Fantasy or Period Series nominations and, remarkably, the Golden Globes telecast was recognized while the Academy Awards was not.
