‘Nosferatu,’ ‘Wicked’ & ‘The Penguin’ Top 2025 ADG Awards Winners
Feb 20, 2025
Some Oscar categories seems pretty locked up (yes “Anora,” we’re looking at you), but a number of below-the-line winners are still up for grabs. That is one reason why guild honors such as the Art Directors Guild ADG Awards are notable precurssors. Especially with Production Design nominees “Conclave,” “Nosferatu,” and “Wicked” taking their respective Feature Film categories. All three are up for the Production Design Oscar alongisde “The Brutalist” and “Dune: Part Two.”
