Agli Art Directors Guild Awards 2021, i premi annuali assegnati dal sindacato scenografi cinematografici e televisivi, dominano nelle loro rispettive categorie titoli come Mank, Tenet e Da 5 Bloods.
Dopo le vittorie di categoria ottenuta i Critics’ Choice e i Bafta, adesso il film di David Fincher è il favorito assoluto per l’Oscar alla scenografia, solo il Tenet di Christopher Nolan potrebbe batterlo in un upset dell’ultimo minuto, altamente improbabile.
