25th Art Directors Guild Winners Revealed

The winners of the Art Directors Guild‘s 25th ADG Excellence in Production Design Awards have been revealed. As anticipated, Mank took out the period feature film category, Tenet won for fantasy feature film, and Soul snatched animated feature film. But there was a slight upset in the contemporary feature film category where many thought Promising Young Woman may prevail. Instead, the ADG chose Da 5 Bloods.
