Daily Briefing. Iranian Hardliners Vs the Oscar

5 February 2012 11:08 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »

With the Us and Israel insisting that "all options remain open, including military action, if Iran continues with its uranium enrichment program" and Iran snapping back that it'll stage "a reciprocal attack" if provoked, as the AP reports today, a little speed-bump in the Oscar race looks pretty damn trivial. Nonetheless, in today's Observer, Saeed Kamali Dehghan reports that "Masoud Ferasati, an Iranian writer whose views are close to those of the Islamic regime, said [recently on state-run television]: 'The image of our society that A Separation depicts is the dirty picture westerners are wishing for.' Ferasati added that political motivations were behind the many awards for Iranian films in the past two decades, and said an Oscar for A Separation should not be welcomed by Iranians." According to Dehghan, though, many "ordinary Iranians," have indeed welcomed the slew of awards Asghar Farhadi's film has garnered, beginning with the Golden and »

2012 Oscar Predictions: Art Directors Guild Honors 'Hugo,' 'Potter' and 'Dragon Tattoo'

5 February 2012 9:25 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

It looks like I'll be sticking with my prediction that Hugo will just barely edge out The Artist for Best Art Direction at this year's Oscars as that is the way the Art Directors Guild (Adg) went with their awards last night where Hugo's production designer Dante Ferretti took home best art direction for a period film. Also nominated for an Oscar, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 production designer Stuart Craig won for best art direction in a fantasy film while Donald Graham Burt was awarded for his work on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for best art direction in a contemporary film. Burt, however, was not nominated for an Oscar. So it becomes a three horse race at the Oscars between Hugo, The Artist and Harry Potter. Hugo and The Artist are the front-runners, but I can't help but wonder if Craig will finally »

2012 Oscar Predictions: Art Directors Guild Offer Nominations as a Guide for Best Art Direction

4 January 2012 8:32 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Last night the Art Directors Guild (Adg) announced their nominees for Excellence in Production Design and I felt it's high time I open up my Best Art Direction predictions for the 2012 Oscars. What better time than now considering we have a guide to help us along our way? To begin, the only film not nominated by the Adg that I would say of the films not nominated by the Adg that may have a shot at an Oscar nomination in this category would be Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Albert Nobbs, Jane Eyre, A Dangerous Method, War Horse and potentially Madonna's W.E.. Thing is, the Adg breaks their noms out by genre and you can only fit so many into that Period Film category, but this is also just one of the indicators that just because a film was nominated for the Guild Awards means others won't be considered for the Oscar. »

'Potter,' 'Hugo,' 'Captain America' Among Art Directors Guild Nominees

4 January 2012 7:22 AM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

As anyone who watched James Franco's take on Oscar hosting can tell you, Hollywood award shows can be weird, weird things. Whether it's Adrien Brody planting a kiss on Halle Berry or just Ricky Gervais insulting everyone in the audience, things can get strange very fast.

But for certain awards, they don't need all the fanfare (or malice) to entice audiences; sometimes the nominees alone are enough. The Art Directors Guild awards fall squarely into this category, with their wide-ranging nominees for excellence in production design, announced last night. Where else would "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close," "Captain America," and "Anonymous" all be nominated for something?

The announcement of the winners will be made at the annual awards ceremony on Feb. 4.

Check out the list of nominees:

Art Directors Guild Nominees Range From The Help to Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

4 January 2012 6:00 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

The Art Directors Guild has announced the nominees for its 16th annual Excellence in Production Design Awards, to be handed out Feb. 4 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Art Direction may not be at the top of your priority list for movies or TV, but I think it should be higher than many people hold it. Without art direction the tone of what you watch would be greatly impacted. I love being transported into a unique universe, and art direction helps make my movie and TV viewing experiences more enjoyable. 

Here are the nominees:

‘Captain America,’ ‘Drive’ and ‘Tinker Tailor’ Among Art Directors Guild Nominees

3 January 2012 9:14 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Following the Producer’s Guild of America announcement this morning, the Art Directors Guild have announced their nominations for best Production design this year. An overlooked category, this is an area that can make or break a film for me. The lack of effort in War Horse‘s production design hurt the film for me, whereas the impeccable detail in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy elevates it to another level.

The latter was recognized, along with the much-deserving Captain America: The First Avenger and Spielberg’s other 2011 film The Adventure of Tintin, both in the fantasy categories. Also showing up was Cowboys & Aliens, whose production design is one of the only deserving elements to recognize. It was no surprise to see Drive and The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo show up in the contemporary category with their immaculate design, with Bridesmaids getting an outside nom. Check out all the film nominations below. »
