The Art Directors Guild have announced the winners of its 30th Annual Art Directors Guild Excellence in Production Design Awards (30th ADG Awards).

Ron Funches hosted the ceremony, which was held at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown and hosted by Ron Funches. The ADG Awards celebrated the visionary production design teams behind the year’s most visually ambitious films, television series, and music projects, recognizing outstanding achievement in the art of cinematic and episodic world-building.

Presented by the Art Directors Guild, the annual gathering brought together many of the industry’s leading artists and creatives whose work helped define some of the year’s most immersive storytelling environments. Honors were awarded across a wide range of feature film and television categories, reflecting excellence in both scope and craft.

The evening included red carpet arrivals, awards presentations, and tributes honoring longtime innovators whose careers have left a lasting mark on the field.

The event underscored the vital role production designers and art directors play in shaping cinematic storytelling and immersive environments that define today’s most celebrated films and television series. The ceremony was produced by Megan Elizabeth Bell, Michael Allen Glover, and Tom Wilkins.

Of the feature film winners, only Frankenstein and One Battle After Another will be competing at the Oscars. They will be going up against Hamnet, Marty Supreme, and Sinners, all of which were nominated in the Period Film category.
