ADG adds ‘Shutter Island,’ ‘Narnia,’ ‘Alice in Wonderland’ to usual slate of contenders

Here's a batch of nominations that includes some new names alongside the usual suspects.

Shutter IslandThe Art Directors Guild announced its nominations on Wednesday morning – and by separating the feature film nominees into Period Film, Fantasy Film and Contemporary Film categories, they were able to make room for the likes of "Shutter Island" (left), "Robin Hood" and "The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader" alongside awards heavyweights like "True Grit," "The King's Speech," "Black Swan," "The Fighter" and "The Social Network."

On the television side, nominees included "Mad Men," "True Blood," "The Tudors" and "Glee" for Single Camera Television Series, and "Modern Family," "30 Rock" and "Community" for Half Hour Single-Camera Television Series.

The February 5 ceremony will take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, and will also honor David Lynch's longtime production designer Patricia Norris with the guild's Lifetime Achievement Award. The theme of the event will be "Designs on Film" and will pay tribute to a new book by Cathy Whitlock tracing 100 years of art direction in Hollywood.
