16 FILMS COMPETE FOR 3 ART DIRECTORS GUILD AWARDS


The strategizing intensifying year upon year in the Oscar race, we're now at a point wherein the year in film is not only poorly represented by end-of-year awards but entirely misrepresented. The Art Directors Guild nominations for 2016 put forth a selection of titles whose Oscar buzz has been calibrated smartly by studios intelligent enough to know that a guild award nod can advance a film's status and boost their revenue, whilst those titles absent though also vying for awards consideration go unrecognized by their contributors' guilds in the hope of carving out an alternative niche in the Oscar race. Winners will be announced on the 11th of February.
