Egyptian Hosts Production Design Nominees Panel

On Saturday, February 21, at 2:30 p.m., the day before the Oscars, this year’s Academy Award nominated production designers and set decorators will participate in a special panel at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood, discussing their nominated films and what it took to design them.

The Art Directors Guild and the Set Decorators Society of America, in association with the American Cinematheque, are presenting this panel, which will be preceded by excerpts of each nominated film. ADG President Tom Walsh will moderate the discussion with production designer James Murakami and set decorator Gary Fettis, of Changeling; production designer Donald Graham Burt and set decorator Victor Zolfo, of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button; production designer Nathan Crowley and set decorator Peter Lando, of The Dark Knight; production designer Michael Carlin and set decorator Rebecca Alleyway, of The Duchess; and production designer Kristi Zea and set decorator Debra Schutt, of Revolutionary Road.

Admission is free, and tickets are available on the day of the panel discussion at the box office only; there will be no online ticketing. Also of note, a free panel discussion with all of the Oscar nominees for Best Film Editing will be presented by American Cinema Editors at 10 a.m. on February 21.
