Friday night, the American Cinema Editors awarded their year-end awards and Saturday night the Art Directors Guild had their say. “The Shape of Water,” “Logan” and “Blade Runner 2049” were the big film winners at the ADG Awards, making the former and the later the presumptive frontrunners for the Best Production Design Oscar. While not nominated for the Academy Award, “Logan” was the biggest surprise winner as it beat out “Downsizing” and “Get Out” in the ADG Contemporary Film category. Pixar’s “Coco” took the Animated Film honor.
On the television side, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Game of Thrones,” “Glow,” “Black Mirror,” “Portlandia” and “Will & Grace” won their categories.
Denis Villeneuve says the Score for “Blade Runner: 2049” should have been Oscar nominated
