no the grandmaster again !
actually its production design is superb .
DaneM,
I’m glad I’m aging. My back is hurting more and more all the time.
(That was (an unfortunately true) joke by the way).
I don’t care if Gravity has already been talked about…. The first thing I thought of was, How could Gravity not be nominated???
Gravity wasn’t a production???? I hope the nominee-ers had a Homer Simpson moment (“D’oh!”) They really deserve one.
I don’t even know what else to say. 🙁
Oscar Prediction for Production Design:
Her
Inside Llewyn Davis
American Hustle
Gravity
The Great Gatsby
Alt. 12 Years A Slave
They should also swap Gravity and Her, as everyone has said above.
There is actually one scene in Wolf Of Wall Street that I assume is contemporary: the final seminar. But yeah, otherwise period all the way.
Gregoire, before we knock the wait huggers I will say this old guy I know has worn them and nothing but them for as long as I’ve known him (my whole life). If anything could be considered “modern” in Her it’s the sansabelts 😛
If you swap Gravity and Her’s categories, this would make more sense. But Wolf of Wall Street is period all the way. Late 80s and early 90s weren’t yesterday, no matter how many of us don’t want to admit we’re aging.
If we’re being honest, The Great Gatsby was more a fantasy film than Gravity. And Her is in no way a contemporary film. Did you see those waist-huggers?
I agree the categories are all messed-up. I hope they nominate GRAVITY for the Oscar in this category.
Yes, Gravity is a great “fantasy” film.
I hope someday mankind will fly out of space for real. Maybe we can reach the Moon, wouldn’t it be awesome?
Well I’m just glad that 12 Years a Slave was nominated. Art direction was one of the reasons why that film was so successful.
Indeed, steve. Sci-fi is a stretch, but fantasy is pretty far off. Her has now been nominated in the contemporary categories at both ADG and CDG.
Most of these could end up being nominated for the Oscar next week.
Wolf of Wall Street is a contemporary film? I get the whole why it’s classified as a comedy thing but it’s clearly set in the 80’s.
So Gravity is considered “fantasy”, even though it takes place now, on equipment in an environment that does or could likely exist;
and Her is considered “contemporary” even though the idea of being able to interact to the point of falling in love with any existing app voice is not yet possible, at least among the sane?
Other than that, no surprises here.

I’m not supposed to talk about any of that. I get yelled at whenever I do.
I’m very happy to see Llewyn Davis here. Every set of that film was perfectly designed. The city streets and alleyways, his friends’ apartments, and that early 60′s design of both Grossman’s Chicago building and the rest stop on the way to Chicago all were so fully realized through their design. I really really hope it can score a nod next Thursday.
However, I’d say that the nominees with be 12 Years a Slave, The Great Gatsby, Saving Mr. Banks, The Hobbit (the franchise has never missed this nod yet), and Gravity since, if BAFTA is any indication, they are probably going to love it across the board.
All looks pretty accurate and great to me 🙂
