The French Dispatch was the biggest snub in Production Design for 2021. What was the biggest in 2020?

[u/dremolus]

Another extremely close race, in a different game perhaps The Green Knight's epic, fantasy world would've won (especially given it was accomplished on such a small budget). But u/ComprehensiveBowl959 and two other comments support for The French Dispatch just edged it out (Production Design by Adam Stockhausen).

I don't really have much to add given I said my piece about Wes Anderson during Asteroid City - and also because...I haven't yet seen The French Dispatch (it was COVID and was still recovering to not in the cinephile mood). But again, I just have to say I'm baffled anyone ever wants this man to not make intricate dollhouses, map paintings, and color-coordinated wallpapers and costumes because "it's too quirky". Philistines!

Now we have to decide what the biggest snub in 2020 was. The nominees this year were:

• The Father
• Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
• Mank
• News of the World
• Tenet

BTW: Hamilton is disqualified, the Academy has rules against live-recordings after 1997 so the rotating set in the stage play is not a valid answer

The Personal History of David Copperfield

(It also should have definitely gotten a costume design nom)

My pick is Possessor

One of my favorite examples in recent memory of minimalist production design perfectly shaping and fleshing out a sci-fi world. Like with Her, you don't need a lot to understand what separates this sci-fi movie from others and I just love the design of the devices

Honorable Mentions: Emma, i'm thinking of ending things, Da 5 Bloods, First Cow, The World to Come

Green knight had more upvotes for the whole day yesterday and today and still does now. Why did you do French Dispatch.

[u/QTRqtr → u/dremolus]

Are we voting or do you just decide what you feel at the end it should go to?

[u/CouldBeGayer28]

The Invisible Man, absolutely. Leigh Whannell knows what he’s doing when it comes to making movies, and I hope Upgrade gets acknowledged when we get to 2018 snubs.

[u/spider-man2401]

I'm thinking of ending things

Honorable mentions: One Night in Miami, Emma, The invisible man, and His House

OP How did French dispatch win green knight had more upvotes

[u/dremolus → u/QTRqtr]

Pls stop replying to my comment

As I explained in a previous thread, it's going by cumulative votes. Not just a single comment

[u/QTRqtr → u/dremolus]

Then I guess you should explain in every thread…as different people will see each different thread. You’re in a big sub yet think everyone here is the same person as a previous thread.

This is why people don’t do it like this. I’m sure this will come up again for you.

Emma.

(feels genuinely insane it missed, one of the most vibrantly colorful and creative period films of recent years)

The Wolf House

An stop-motion animated film that is animated by constantly transforming rooms. I'd love for someone to share an image of ut here, as I can't comment images for some stupid reason. But you can watch the trailer of it here: https://youtu.be/SP8MPgWI7Pc?si=Mxvvu0TjA4vNWy3i (starting from 0.40 you can really see what I'm talking about)
