This week will be a deluge of guild and craft organization awards announcements. The Art Directors Guild revealed their nominees for their 2023 ADG Awards and there were genuinely few surprises. In the film categories, likely Oscar nominees “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” “The Batman,” and “Avatar: The Way of Water” made the cut over three different categories. On the television side, deserving recognition went to “Andor,” “Moon Knight,” “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” “House of Dragon,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and “Only Murders in the Building.”
