“The French Dispatch,” “Nightmare Alley,” “West Side Story,” “Dune,” “The Green Knight” and “Don’t Look Up” are among the feature-film nominees for the 26th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards, which are given out by the Art Directors Guild (IATSE Local 800).

Kicking off a four-day period in which 10 different Hollywood guilds and societies will announce their nominations, the ADG honorees were announced by guild president Nelson Coates and ADG Awards producer Michael Allen Glover.

In the period-film category, the ADG category that most closely matches the Oscar for Best Production Design, the nominees were “The French Dispatch,” “Licorice Pizza,” “Nightmare Alley,” “The Tragedy of Macbeth” and “West Side Story.”

In the fantasy category, nominations went to “Cruella,” “Dune,” “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” “The Green Knight” and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.”

And in the contemporary category, the nominees were “Candyman,” “Don’t Look Up,” “In the Heights,” “The Lost Daughter” and “No Time to Die.”

Last year, three of the Oscar nominees came from the period category, one came from fantasy and one, “The Father,” was not nominated by the ADG.

Television nominees included the period or fantasy series “Foundation” and “The Great,” the contemporary series “The Morning Show” and “Yellowstone,” the limited series “The White Lotus” and “The Underground Railroad” and the half-hour series “Hacks” and “Schmigadoon!”

The ADG Awards are currently scheduled to take place at an in-person event at the InterContinental Hotel in downtown Los Angeles on March 5. Other awards that will be handed out at the ceremony include the William Cameron Menzies Award to director Denis Villeneuve and the Cinematic Imagery Award to Jane Campion.
