“Marty Supreme” and “Bugonia” are among the nominees for the 2026 American Set Decorators Association Awards.
This award celebrates excellence in the art of film set decoration in the Decoration and Design category.
“One Battle After Another,” “Sinners,” “Wicked: For Good” and “Frankenstein” are also among the nominees.
For “Marty Supreme,” production designer Jack Fisk, who has yet to win an Academy Award, worked closely with director Josh Safdie to envision some of the film’s biggest sets, including Marty Moser’s favorite ping-pong parlor, which was based on Lawrence’s Broadway Ping-Pong Club.
Bugonia’s James Price knew he had to create contrasts between Michelle’s corporate world, her ultra-modern home, and Teddy and Don’s old, smelly home stuck in time. At the same time, we knew that in creating these spaces, we could hide all the clues about the characters and their storylines in plain sight.
In “Sinners,” Hannah Beachler gets to build a deeply researched and meticulously crafted world filled with cultural references and Easter eggs. But this movie is more than just a vampire movie; it’s about folklore, spirituality, history, and culture.
Last year’s Oscar winner Nathan Crowley (Wicked) found a way to expand his world with his final film, For Good. Some of these new sets included Glinda’s Apartment, the Floating Castle, and Elphaba’s Woodland Hideout.
When Guillermo del Toro asked production designer Tamara Deverell to create Frankenstein, one thing was clear: there would be no green screen. Everything will be handmade from scratch. “We had 20 sculptors working at any given time,” Deverell says.
The SDSA Awards will be presented on February 21st in Los Angeles.
