“Frankenstein,” “Hamnet,” “One Battle After Another” and “Wicked: For Good” have won the top feature-film awards at the Set Decorators Society of America’s SDSA Awards, which were announced on YouTube on Saturday afternoon.
“Hamnet” won in the period film category, “One Battle After Another” in contemporary film, “Frankenstein” in fantasy or science-fiction film and “Wicked: For Good” in comedy or musical feature.
“One Battle After Another” won the award for Best Picture, which is open to all films regardless of genre.
The SDSA has been giving out awards since 2020. In that time, one of its winners has gone on to take the Academy Award for Best Production Design four out of the five times, with the SDSA’s period-film winner earning the Oscar twice and its fantasy and comedy/musical winner doing it once each. In 2023, “Tar,” “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “Matilda the Musical” and “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” won the SDSA’s awards, but “All Quiet on the Western” front won the Oscar.
For the last two years, the SDSA has also added the Best Picture category, which was won by “Poor Things” in 2024 and “A Complete Unknown” in 2026.
The SDSA’s awards in television categories are handed out at a different time than the film awards.
The other awards given out to honor production design, the Art Directors Guild Awards, will take place on Feb. 28.
