Steve50 – I’m guessing Boyhood is ineligible because they didn’t use sets as much as they did basically just shoot in real locations. Boyhood may be the favorite for BP right now, but there is nothing about it that suggests extraordinary Production Design, Art Direction or Set Decoration.
Nightcrawler.
Jake’s power! 😉
No Hobbit, Snowpiercer or Exodus is surprising.
No Mr. Turner … Absurd.
What about The Immigrant ?
To add to my above comment, though, and to contradict it:
The Academy didn’t nominate Curse of the Golden Flower for Best Art Direction, in one of the most egregious omissions in its history. The ADG gave it their Period Film award. It fucking deserved it. So I’ll never actually hate them. I just don’t rly give a shit about them…
Despite boasting fifteen nominations (none of which, you may be shocked to hear, I’m going to decry), the ADG and the Academy’s designers branch don’t often fall in line with one another, taste-wise. Like many of the guilds, these selections feel more like predictable back-patting than even the Academy’s.
I chose two films which did not make the list. Both “Snowpiercer” and “The Zero Theorem” I had expected to be nominated. “Snowpiercer”” because the premise for the film absolutely makes demands upon the art directors to create different worlds on the train. I thought it was a shoe-in for a nomination in this category. And while “The Zero Theorem” didn’t get a lot of “Oscar talk”, Terry Gilliam usually succeeds in obtaining a nomination for his films in this category (“The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnasus”, “Brazil”, “The Adventures of Baron Munchausen” to name some examples.)
All in all, though, I think ADG came up with some good choices. “Into the Woods” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel” are the only two real locks for Oscar nominations that I can determine.
I’m guessing Snowpiercer was ineligible?
This one is an easy choice.
Grand Budapest, Guardians of the Galaxy, and either Nightcrawler or Gone Girl for the win!
No Selma either, but like Boyhood it doesn’t seem like a strong bet here anyways.
No Big Eyes, which looked nice.
And no Mr. Turner. Ineligible? It looks too good to ignore.
No Whiplash hunh? That seems to be the only shocker here.
Just curious – why would Boyhood not be eligible?
Totally expecting Oscar nods for Into the Woods, Budapest and Imitation Game.
Nice to see Maria Djurkovic getting further recognition.
Thanks!
Boyhood was ineligible.
No Boyhood? Is that a shock or was it likey going to miss this award anyway?
