Art Directors Guild (ADG) Nominate ‘American Sniper,’ The Imitation Game,’ Into the Woods’
The Art Directors Guild revealed their nominations this morning and heavy awards players The Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything, Birdman and The Grand Budapest Hotel all received mentions. American Sniper and Nightcrawler continue to overperform at the guilds, with both showing up here today.
