Production designer Patrice Vermette and set decorator Zsuzsanna Sipos took home statuettes for their work on Dune at the Academy Awards on Sunday, with Vermette paying “special” tribute to his “friend” Jean-Marc Vallée—the Canadian filmmaker behind Big Little Lies, Dallas Buyers Club and more, who died suddenly in December, aged 58.
Vermette also thanked director Denis Villeneuve “for allowing us to dream” and “for being a great friend,” saying, “I owe this to you.”
“I’m such a crybaby, I’m sorry,” added Sipos. “It means an awful lot and I just want to thank my team and everyone who participated, and for the opportunity.”

“It’s humbling, to tell you the truth,” exclaims production designer Stefan Dechant about receiving his first career Oscar nomination for his work on “The Tragedy of Macbeth.” This adaptation the classic Shakespeare drama, written and directed by Oscar winner Joel Coen, stars Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand as the murderous title couple. Along with Dechant’s nomination, the film also Oscar nods for Actor (Washington) and Cinematography. Check out our exclusive video interview with Dechant above.

Dechant says his designs for the film were driven by Coen’s desire to create a “Macbeth” that was both theatrical and cinematic. “He wanted to abstract it, but he didn’t want to be filming a theatrical event,” he explains. “He very much wanted it to be cinematic.

“Dune” got a big boost in its Oscar bid for Best Production Design with a win on March 6 at the Art Directors Guild Awards. Over the first 25 years of these prizes, the eventual Oscar winner has always numbered among the Adg nominees in the various genre categories. “Dune” prevailed in the fantasy film race over “Cruella,” “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” “The Green Knight” and “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.”
Its closest Oscar competition, “Nightmare Alley,” won the period picture prize over two other Oscar contenders — “The Tragedy of Macbeth” and “West Side Story.” The fifth Oscar nominee, “The Power of the Dog,” was snubbed in that race in favor of “The French Dispatch” and “Licorice Pizza.”
“No Time to Die” won the contemporary category over “Candyman,” “Don’t Look Up,” “In the Heights” and “The Lost Daughter.”

“Dune” (Warner Bros.), “Nightmare Alley” (Searchlight), and “No Time to Die” (MGM/UA) were the big film winners Saturday at the 26th Art Directors Guild Awards (held at the Intercontinental Los Angeles Downtown).
Denis Villeneuve’s epic “Dune” took sci-fi honors, Guillermo del Toro’s noirish “Nightmare Alley” won for period, and Cary Fukanaga’s “No Time to Die” (which closed out Daniel Craig’s James Bond saga), earned the contemporary prize.

Who’d have thought the 26th annual Art Directors Guild Awards would be such a good party?
Community alum and host Yvette Nicole Brown kicked things off with great energy and a few genuinely funny jokes. There followed two genuinely engaging acceptance speeches from Ethan Tobman and François Audouy and then a genuinely emotional — and funny — introduction from Kevin Costner for his longtime collaborator, production designer Ida Ransom, who received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
“I’m so impressed how many production designers are not freaked out by talking up here,” said a visibly nervous Costner. “It’s freaking me out.”
The guild also awarded Lifetime Achievement Awards to Donna Cline, Anne Harris and Denise & Michael Okuda.
Oscar-nominated Dune director Denis Villeneuve received the William Cameron Menzies Award, for which he credited all the production designers he has worked with, especially frequent collaborator Patrice Vermette. Vermette, it turns out, won the gong for Fantasy Feature Film.

As a treatise on the relentless drive to secure power for the sheer purpose of seizing power, William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth is unequalled in its recognition of the effects of the evil that men do in pursuit of this power. Denzel Washington stars as Lord Macbeth in Joel Coen’s masterful adaption of the timeless tale of political ambition thought to have been first performed in 1606 that remains as poignant and illuminating today as ever.
Seeking power, Lord Macbeth (Denzel Washington) – along with the aid of his conniving wife (Frances McDormand) – sets a plan in motion to seize control of the Scottish throne through a murderous plot that eventually plunges its perpetrators into madness.
Working without his brother Ethan, director Joel Coen crafts a masterful adaptation of one of the greatest tragedies ever created. Working from his own script, Coen shoots the film in an exquisite black and white provided by Bruno Delbonnel cinematography.

Together, the Coen Brothers have covered a lot of ground as collaborators and co-directors, from stark neo noir (“Blood Simple”) to bluegrass-tinged whimsy to mid-century Hollywood shenanigans. But an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” could only have happened once the pair put their partnership on hiatus, according to Joel Coen in a new interview with the Los Angeles Times.
Coen’s interest in “Macbeth” was first piqued when his wife, Oscar-winning actress Frances McDormand, asked him to consider directing her in the play as Lady Macbeth. He ended up not helming that production at Berkeley Rep, which starred McDormand and “Games of Thrones” alum Conleth Hill in 2016. But the seed had been planted for Coen, who began contemplating the story of a murderous couple in cinematic terms.
That plan became clearer after 2018’s “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” the last film on which the Coens shared a directing credit.

When production designer Stefan Dechant (Disney’s upcoming hybrid “Pinocchio”) got a surprise call to meet with Joel Coen on the spur of the moment to discuss “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” his noir-like Shakespeare adaptation of murder, madness, and mayhem, starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand, Dechant was immediately hooked.
The look and design were explicitly laid out in a photo album that Coen shared with Dechant, after the director spent a year refining his black-and-white vision with cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel. It cried out German Expressionism, with images from movies, architecture, photography, and theater (modernist stage designer Edward Gordon Craig’s use of large geometric blocks). Inspired by the blueprint, the production designer went to work on the very spare Shakespearean world building, shot on sound stages in L.A.
“When we sat down, Joel had a very strong vision [for the look and choreography]: black-and-white, Academy ratio [1.37:1], German Expressionism, and it was abstracted...

Well, there’s always a point if the film is as compelling and visually brilliant as this. Director Joel Coen, working for once without brother Ethan, has delivered a stark monochrome nightmare, refrigerated to an icy coldness. With Shakespeare’s text cut right back, it’s a version that brings us back to the language by framing the drama in theatrical, stylised ways: an agoraphobic ordeal in which bodies and faces loom up with tin-tack sharpness out of the creamy-white fog.
Coen’s visual contrivances have something of Kurosawa and Welles, with some German expressionist shadows, and this looks like a crime drama...

Filmmaker Joel Coen wanted “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” his adaptation of the Shakespearean staple about the ambitious Scottish king, to be rooted in theatricality but to avoid looking like a filmed play. For his first solo movie as a director, he chose to shoot in the stark black and white of classic expressionist works. The A24-Apple Original film, starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand as Lord and Lady Macbeth, opens in theaters Dec. 25 prior to streaming.
Production designer Stefan Dechant collaborated closely with cinematographer Bruno Delbonnel, who started prepping with Coen almost 18 months before shooting began. Dechant explains that the stylized sets, more than any he’d seen, were built to contrast “where shadow and light fall. Going back to abstraction, we started painting in shadows.”
Reference images came from the austerity of director Carl Theodor Dreyer, Charles Laughton’s influential 1955 noir “The Night of the Hunter” and even...

Production designer Stefan Dechant and costume designer Mary Zophres said director Joel Coen instructed them to make his film The Tragedy of Macbeth more abstract than a literal adaptation. Zophres and Dechant spoke with Deadline’s Justin Kroll at The Contenders Film: Los Angeles event Sunday.
“One of the first things he said was he didn’t want to deny the original text was for a theatrical experience,” Dechant said. “He wanted an abstraction right away.”
Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand play Lord and Lady Macbeth. Their castle reflects Coen’s mandate for abstraction.
“Joel was always saying, ‘It’s the idea of a castle — it’s not really a castle,’” Dechant said. “Even designing the backings, even though they were digitally printed, we painted them as such that they felt like hand-painted backings.”

The early days of awards season bring buzz and promise, but they also mean it’s time for studios to develop strategy and brainstorm opportunities to strike.
With the Toronto International Film Festival handing out its prestigious People’s Choice prize to Kenneth Branagh’s “Belfast,” the Focus Features drama has the authority to declare itself the best picture front-runner for this awards season — but holding on to the throne won’t be easy.
Speaking of thrones, Joel Coen’s adaptation of “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” his first solo directorial helm without his brother Ethan in years, played like gangbusters at the Sept. 24 opening night of the New York Film Festival.
Taking on William Shakespeare is always a daunting task, with some films finding success (such as Branagh’s 1996 “Hamlet” or Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 version of “Romeo + Juliet”) and others not so much.

Historian and politician John Dalberg Acton is quoted saying, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Is it possible he was reading William Shakespeare’s 1606 play Macbeth when he thought of this? Macbeth has always been a story about power and corruption of the spirit and how greed could turn two seemingly good people into murderers. Was it dormant within them? Or was it an opportunity that sent Lord and Lady Macbeth into a power-obsessed frenzy? Director Joel Coen explores the consequences of war and loss through a fantastical, almost surrealist-like lens in The Tragedy of Macbeth, which world premieres tonight to open the New York Film Festival. He executes Shakespeare’s work in a way that takes inspiration from other adaptations of the play while creating a version that is all his own.

In the 18 feature films he has made with his brother Ethan, Joel Coen has proved himself, over and over again, to be as fetishistically visual a director as anyone from the independent film world of the last four decades. Wes Anderson might be a more extreme example, but even there it would be hard to imagine the Wes Anderson life-as-a-dollhouse school had it not been for the example of the Coen brothers: the obsession they’ve always had with rendering a story in meticulously organized images, with each shot framed just so, the sets designed almost like dioramas, the whole sense of camera placement and cutting and spatial dynamics creating a heightened graphic-novel approach that, for the Coens, often seems to be the main reason they’re making the movie.

Crime never pays across the Coen brothers’ oeuvre, whether they’re out for laughs (“Fargo”) or in a mood (“No Country For Old Men”). So it makes bubbling cauldrons of sense that a debut Shakespeare flex for Joel Coen, making his first movie without brother Ethan, would be the Bard’s ultimate comeuppance scorcher, “The Tragedy of Macbeth.”
Despite, that is, having already made one outlaw-couple-on-a-deadend-spree saga.
Stacked with great performances, anchored by Denzel Washington’s masterfully weary soldier-turned-murderer Macbeth and Frances McDormand as his hard-edged conspirator-turned-madwoman of a spouse, and starkly rendered in expressionistic black and white, Coen’s version of one of the most oft-quoted of Shakespeare’s works is a bracingly textured cinematic plunge into some classically dark waters.

The 23rd annual Art Directors Guild Awards took place on Saturday (Feb. 2). These kudos have a stellar record at previewing the winner of the Best Production Design race at the Academy Awards. Over the first 22 years of these prizes, the eventual Oscar champ has always numbered among the Adg nominees in the various genre categories. Fifteen of the Academy Award winners first prevailed with the guild, including the last five in a row.
The current Oscar frontrunner for this award, “The Favourite,” won at the Adg in the period category over, among others, two of its Oscar rivals: “First Man” and “Roma.” That race was rounded out by “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” One of the other two Academy Awards contenders — “Black Panther” — won the Adg fantasy film prize. The fifth Oscar nominee, “Mary Poppins Returns,” contended in that race. The contemporary award went to “Crazy Rich Asians.

The movie reimagines the origin of the mythic Kong in a compelling, original adventure from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts (“The Kings of Summer”).

On the surface, this week's "Oz the Great and Powerful" and last week's "Jack the Giant Slayer" would seem to have a lot in common. Both are lavish, modern updates of familiar fantasy tales, inspired by Disney's billion-dollar success in updating "Alice in Wonderland" three years ago. Both have opulent visuals (and the 3D ticket surcharges that go with them). Both were directed by successful adapters of Marvel Comics franchises to the big screen ("X-Men" director Bryan Singer made "Jack"; Sam Raimi, who did the initial "Spider-Man" trilogy, did "Oz"). Both cost about $200 million to make. And yet, "Jack" flopped, while "Oz" is poised for blockbuster success. Last weekend, "Jack" opened with $28 million, a dismal number considering its cost and its studio's expectations. This weekend, however, "Oz" opened with an estimated $80 million (the third-biggest March debut ever), a figure "Jack" will have a hard time reaching before its theatrical run ends.

VFX supervisor Ben Snow was recognised for his work on Iron Man 2 (Australia’s Fuel VFX was one of the vendors working on this title), and editor Kirk Baxter is nominated for The Social Network.
It should also be noted that Australia’s VFX company Rising Sun Pictures worked on the nominated film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1.
Perhaps the most anticipated nomination was Jacki Weaver’s, which is even more remarkable considering it’s a nomination for an Australian actress in an Australian film set in Australia. It’s her first ever, but she’s facing tough...

In accepting his Critics’ Choice Movie Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, writer Aaron Sorkin told Mark Zuckerberg — who may or may not have been watching the awards ceremony — that the people who made “The Social Network” all owe him a debt of gratitude.
That was certainly the understatement of the evening, as ”The Social Network” was the big winner of the night, taking home the awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Score.
All in all, the Ccma’s were a pleasant and relatively coherent event with few surprises, though it showed that “The Fighter” may be a more formidable Oscar contender than previously anticipated after winning awards for Best Supporting Actor (Christian Bale), Best Supporting Actress (Melissa Leo) and Best Acting Ensemble.
Bale himself made one of the evening’s classier acceptance speeches (and Melissa Leo got to reminisce about making out with Josh Brolin).
Speaking of classy,...

The 16th annual Critics Choice Movie Awards took place at the Hollywood Palladium Friday night (Jan. 14). "The Social Network" took home three big awards: Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay, plus Best Score.
"Inception" was actually the most-awarded overall film, as it took home five technical awards and Best Action Movie. "The Fighter" was honored in the acting category three times, with both Best Supporting awards and the Ensemble award. Natalie Portman and Colin Firth each took home the lead acting awards for "Black Swan" and "The King's Speech," respectively, which also won for Best Original Screenplay.
Traditionally, Critics Choice winners go on to nab the Oscars, so look for some similar winners in February at the Academy Awards.
The completely winners list:
Best Picture
"127 Hours"
"Black Swan"
"The Fighter"
"Inception"
"The King's Speech"
"The Social Network"
"The Town"

Every year I do it. I’m surprised how few others do.
I vote for the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards as a member of the Bfca (Broadcast Film Critics Association). My official ballot is below, and I think all critics should show what they consider the best, whether they vote in the Ofcs (Online Film Critics Society) or Cfca (Chicago Film Critics Society) or any other awards. The 16th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards airs on VH1 on Friday night January 11, 2011. I will be there for the first time ever.

Let’s go behind the looking glass, shall we? The 16th Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards are held January 14, 2011 at the Hollywood Palladium. I will be there. I vote. I am one of the 250 members of the Broadcast Film Critics Association (Bfca). Right now the show is stilling trying to find the perfect host. I hope they go with a classic comedian such as Conan O’Brien or Steven Colbert (yes, those would be Huge names for this awards show). It’d be great to have a stand-up since the Oscars are going with James Franco and Anne Hathaway. Maroon 5 has been named the house band. I’ll be giving you my final ballot as soon as I am allowed to post.
