Other fantasy nominees included Disney’s “Cruella,” Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” and “The Green Knight.” “Licorice Pizza” scored a surprising period nomination for its spot-on depiction of the Valley in ’73; other contemporary nominees included “Candyman,” “Don’t Look Up,” “In the Heights,” and “No Time to Die.” Not making the cut were Netflix’s Best Picture contender “The Power of the Dog,” “Being the Ricardos,” “Belfast, “Cyrano,” and “Free Guy.”

Animation nominations went to Disney’s “Encanto” and “Raya and the Last Dragon,” Pixar’s “Luca,” Netflix/Sony’s “The Mitchells vs. The Machines,” and Universal/Illumination’s “Sing 2.” Among the TV nominees were “Foundation,” “Loki,” “Squid Game,” “Succession,” “Ted Lasso,” “The Great,” “The Underground Railroad,” “The White Lotus,” “The Witcher,” and “WandaVision.” Although it’s difficult to use the ADG as an Oscar predictor, it’s clear that Denis Villeneuve’s ambitious “Dune” is the favorite for production designer Patrice Vermette. His team oversaw an assortment of large-scale sets at Origo Studios in Budapest. There’s the castle of the Atreides family on the ocean planet Caladan and distinguished by its Norwegian vibe with mottled hues. The interiors of the desert planet Arrakis have an Egyptian influence with stark browns, ochres and arid reds. The goth-looking planet, Giedi Prime, contains dark, cavernous interiors, where they also built also the steam bath of the large, imposing Baron Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård). A24/Apple+ Oscar winner Adam Stockhausen (“The Grand Budapest Hotel”) has two shots at a nomination with Steven Spielberg’s remake of the beloved “West Side Story” musical and Wes Anderson’s eclectic, hand-crafted “The French Dispatch” anthology. He brought a gritty authenticity to “West Side Story,” shooting predominantly on location in New York City and New Jersey to recreate the turbulent late ’50s backdrop. Stockhausen conceived different visual worlds in both color and black-and-white for Anderson’s collection of “New Yorker”-inspired stories set in a fictional French city in the ’50s and ’60s.

The other favorites are two very different noirs:  Joel Coen’s black-and-white adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth,” in which production designer Stefan Dechant blended influences from “Siegfried,” “The Passion of Joan of Arc,” “Sunrise,” and “The Night of the Hunter” for a German Expressionism that was both theatrical and cinematic; and Guillermo del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” remake, in which production designer Tamara Deverell put together a working carnival inspired by Edward Hopper, and an upscale high society Art Deco world with fine detail that hints of entrapment. As previously announced, Villeneuve (“Dune”) will receive the William Cameron Menzies Award, director Jane Campion (“The Power of the Dog”) will receive the Cinematic Imagery Award, and set designer/art director Ann Harris (“Schindler’s List”) will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Set Designers & Model Makers Council.
