Art Directors Guild Announces 2025 Award Nominees

The Art Directors Guild (ADG) has announced the nominees for its 29th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards, set for February 15, 2025, in Los Angeles, hosted by Rachael Harris. Notable nominees include 'The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power' and 'Yellowstone,' while Jason Reitman will receive the Cinematic Imagery Award. In parallel, the Directors Guild of America (DGA) unveiled its 2025 nominations for outstanding directorial achievement, featuring all-male nominees including Jacques Audiard and James Mangold, alongside two women in the first-time category. These nominations have sparked discussions about gender representation in the film industry, especially as renowned directors like Denis Villeneuve and Jon M. Chu were overlooked. The DGA Awards will be held on February 8, serving as a potential precursor for the Oscars. Both award ceremonies highlight significant contributions to film and television, reflecting the ongoing evolution of the industry.
