Nothing much to report this month in the battle for Best Production Design. Barbie continues to dominate with the critics groups who award a prize in this category, but that doesn’t really mean too much for the Oscar race. It feels like this will be a close two-horse race between Barbie and Poor Things and it’s still hard to know which way the wind is blowing.
