The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Thursday announced two new flagship exhibitions opening in Spring 2025.
AMPAS’ Los Angeles Museum will host both Director’s Inspiration: Bong Joon Ho, and Barbie to Anna Karenina: The Cinematic Worlds of Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer, exploring the work of the Oscar-nominated production design team behind films like Barbie (2023), Anna Karenina (2012), and Beauty and the Beast (2017).
Bong Joon Ho on the set of Okja (2017)
Director’s Inspiration: Bong Joon Ho is the first museum exhibition dedicated to the internationally acclaimed, Oscar-winning film director. In a continuation of the Academy Museum’s Director’s Inspiration series, the exhibition spotlights Bong Joon Ho’s creative process, filmography, and cinematic influences.
Whether set in 1980s Korea or an imagined future time and space, Bong Joon Ho’s films address issues that are transnational and universal: class disparity, social injustice, the environmental crisis, and political and moral corruption.

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is celebrating filmmaker Bong Joon Ho with a new exhibition dedicated to his creative development.
IndieWire can announce that starting March 23, the Academy Museum will exhibit Bong as part of the “Director’s Inspiration” gallery. Agnés Varda was the previous auteur honored with the museum series.
The Director’s Inspiration gallery “focuses on the filmography and cinematic influences of a director who has established a narrative and visual style that is unmistakably their own, traceable through bodies of work that become touchstones for other filmmakers,” according to the Academy Museum site.
“Director’s Inspiration: Bong Joon Ho” will highlight the “Mickey 17” director’s creative process, filmography, and cinematic influences. The exhibit will include more than 100 original objects from storyboards and research materials to film posters, concept art, creature models, props, and on-set photographs, all from Bong’s archive and personal collection.

While some may approach the new film Back to Black expecting a lurid tale of a talented performer’s descent into addiction and eventual death, they would be wise to learn that the film is more of a celebration of the talent that it’s subject – Amy Winehouse – had and a lovingly crafted ode to remembering that talent.
Telling the story of Winehouse’s somewhat meteoric rise to fame and the making of her album Back to Black, the film draws from the personal lyrics from her phenomenal album to tell Winehouse’s tale from her own perspective.
Working from a script by Matt Greenhalgh – with whom she last collaborated in 2009 on Nowhere Boy – director Sam Taylor-Johnson, weaves a pseudo-whimsical tale of incredible creativity and talent stopped dead in its tracks.

Gerwig and Greenwood discuss Barbie in a behind-the-scenes video. | © Warner Bros.Last Sunday, Sarah Greenwood officially became the most nominated production designer without an Oscar, breaking her tie with Nathan Crowley for the "Diane Warren" distinction. This year, she was nominated for Barbie, another triumph among many in a career spanning 1980s BBC miniseries to 21st-century Hollywood blockbusters.
Though many of her best works rely on a sense of material realism, the Greta Gerwig feature aimed for a sort of "authentic artificiality" where denying reality is a sort of reality into itself. For Greenwood, midcentury Palm Springs was a source of real-world inspiration to combine with Mattel's history, adding a sense of internal logic to Barbieland. Moreover, the aesthetic was sustained by old-school techniques like hand-painted backdrops and a practical fake sea, visible wires holding everything together in the loopy transitions between worlds. She used scale as a tool for wonderment,...

Ryan Gosling's potential win at the Oscars 2024 caused some Barbie backlash, but Robert Downey Jr. avoided this with his win for Oppenheimer. Billie Eilish's Best Original Song for Barbie seemed like the Academy's way of fixing its mistakes of not nominating Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie. Despite the small attempts at redemption, the Academy ultimately failed to make amends for its failure to recognise Gerwig and Robbie, even if neither were favorites to win their respective categories.
Barbie was the unfortunate recipient of two nomination snubs at the 2024 Oscars, with the Academy both trying and failing to make up for its mistake during the ceremony. Despite Barbie not taking home any of the five most prestigious awards, the Oscars 2024 winners list consists of many talented names, from actors and actresses to directors, composers, and the other countless behind-the-scenes crew members who are responsible for crafting feature films.

Updated with Emma Stone win: Poor Things wrapped up its night at the Oscars with a lead actress win for Emma Stone, along with earlier nods for Production Design, Makeup & Hairstyling and Costume Design. See the acceptance speeches above and below.
A clearly emotional Stone thanked director Yorgos Lanthimos for the “gift of a lifetime” for her role as Bella Baxter. This was Stone’s second Oscar win out of four nominations. She also served as a producer on the film.
In her acceptance speech, Stone said “It’s not about me. It’s about a team that came together to make something greater than the sum of its parts and that is the best part about making movies.”

My, how much the race has evolved since the 96th Oscars nominations were announced January 23. We won’t say changed, since it seems like the certain sure bets at that time have become even surer bets. You all know “Oppenheimer,” long considered a frontrunner in many categories,” received the most nominations then with 13, followed by “Poor Things” with 11 and “Killers of the Flower Moon” with 10. Well, tonight, this evening of Sunday March 10 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles at 7:00pm Et, we’re finally gonna see if what we all assume to be true is actually going to pan out: That “Oppenheimer” is teed up for a very big night, as IndieWire’s own Anne Thompson has predicted, with her final Oscar picks, herself.
“Oppenheimer” has won top honors at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, BAFTAs, and Screen Actors Guild Awards. Surely Oscars domination is next, right?...

The films competing for the 2024 Best Production Design Oscar are “Barbie,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Napoleon,” “Oppenheimer,” and “Poor Things.” Our odds currently indicate that “Barbie” (17/5) will be the winner, followed in order of likelihood by “Poor Things” (7/2), “Oppenheimer” (4/1), “Killers of the Flower Moon” (9/2), and “Napoleon” (9/2).
After 1970 and 2004, this is only the third year in Oscars history that the same five movies are nominated for Best Production Design and Best Costume Design. The two present lineups differ, however, in that none of the former’s individual contenders are past winners, constituting the first such instance in the category since 2009. In that case, the only returning nominees were art director Nathan Crowley (“The Dark Knight”) and set decorator Gary Fettis (“Changeling”).
Leading this year’s production design hopefuls in terms of total career nominations are “Barbie” duo Sarah Greenwood and Katie Spencer, who earned joint recognition for half a dozen earlier films.

In Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” Margot Robbie’s Stereotypical Barbie’s perfectly pink world is rocked to the core when she has an existential crisis during a dance party. What follows is a sequence of events that propel her into an emotional journey as she begins to grow closer to the real world.
“It was important that her evolution into becoming human could be reflected in the hair, makeup and costumes,” says Robbie, who also served as the film’s producer. “So, we started mapping her emotional and physical journey through that.”
Makeup and hairstylist Ivana Primorac used 18 wigs and 30 hair pieces for Robbie to reflect her transformation. Primorac worked closely with costume designer Jacqueline Durran, discussing how that visual shift would take place. Barbie’s “a-ha moment” comes when she lies on the ground feeling “defeated, overwhelmed and hopeless.”
That was where the volume in her hair could change.

Some categories go together naturally, like Best Picture and Best Director. It’s no different in the below-the-line categories, either, with Best Costume Design, Best Production Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling having an interesting relationship with one another.
The three design awards are often paired or grouped together as a trio and awarded to the same film. Most recently, “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” won both Best Costume Design and Best Makeup and Hairstyling. Let’s take a closer look at this trifecta of categories and examine the last 20 ceremonies to break down how often these awards overlap.
As you can see, in the past two decades, there have been 11 instances where a film has won at least two of these three design categories.

Poor Things, Oppenheimer and Saltburn won Art Directors Guild (IATSE Local 800) Awards in the categories for fantasy, period and contemporary live action features, respectively, at the 28th Adg Awards, which were handed out Saturday at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Ovation Hollywood.
Poor Things and Oppenheimer are additionally nominated for the Oscar in production design, alongside Barbie, Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon, which were also Adg nominated in their respective categories.
Over the past five years, the winner of the Adg’s period film prize has gone on to win the Oscar for production design twice: In 2020, for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and in 2021, for Mank. During that time, the production design Oscar went to the winner of the fantasy category twice, in 2019, for Black Panther, and 2022, for Dune.

“Saltburn,” “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things” were among the winners at the 28th Annual Art Director’s Guild Awards which took place in Hollywood on Saturday evening.
Hosted by Max Greenfield, the Adg Awards celebrated outstanding production design in theatrical motion pictures, television, commercials, animated features and music videos.
“Poor Things” production designers Shona Heath and James Price drew visual references ranging from the paintings of French futurist Albert Robida to Francis Ford Coppola’s “Dracula” to build Yorgos Lanthimos’ extraordinary sets.
In “Oppenheimer,” Ruth De Jong built Los Alamos from the ground up. But her most challenging task came when she had to build the Oval Office for the film’s third act. Working with supervising art director, Samantha Englander, the two had floated the idea of finding a pre-existing build of the Oval Office. They looked no further than HBO’s beloved political satire “Veep.” Not only was “Veep...

When the Art Directors Guild holds its annual awards ceremony on Feb. 10, prizes will go to talented designers who created looks ranging from the nuclear-threatened whimsy of Wes Anderson’s “Asteroid City,” to the apocalyptic wasteland of “The Last of Us,” to the pink-hued fantasy of a doll choosing between plastic eternity and real-world life and death (she picked the latter).
See a common thread here? In addition to the gloom lurking behind these creations, other contenders provided backdrops for the implied genocide of “Killers of the Flower Moon,” the grief of a lauded composer stricken by the death of his wife in “Maestro,” the battlefield carnage of “Napoleon” and the development of an ultimate weapon that can extinguish humankind in “Oppenheimer.”
Want more? There’s AI armageddon in “The Creator” and “A Murder at the End of the World,” Frankenstein biology in “Poor Things” and a cool-headed professional assassin in “The Killer.

2024 Oscars Best Production Design overview: Can any of the other 3 nominees surpass ‘Barbenheimer’?

A critically important craft to filmmaking is production design. The production designer is responsible for the look of a film, which includes finding locations, designing and building sets, and running the art department. Although the name of this category has changed over the past nine-and-a-half decades, the general principle is the same, with this Oscar going both to a film’s production designer(s) and its set decorator(s).
This category doesn’t usually match the ultimate Best Picture winner; the last time that happened was in 2017 with Guillermo del Toro‘s “The Shape of Water,” and before that was Peter Jackson‘s “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” in 2003. One of this year’s nominees didn’t even receive a Best Picture nomination.

“You have the courage to take risks with each other,” explains set decorator Katie Spencer of the benefits of her working history with production designer Sarah Greenwood, “there’s a trust that comes with a good collaboration.” Greenwood adds that “two heads and two pairs of eyes is better than one…also we are very good friends. And what better way to spend your time?” The pair have earned the seventh shared Oscar nomination of their career for their production design on “Barbie.” Though their pink plastic creation is based on toys, it turns out that having fun can be hard work. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
The pair are responsible for bringing Barbieland to life in the Warner Bros film. From the title character’s classic dreamhouse to beaches made of plastic waves, the entire world is a colorful artifice. The pair entered discussions with writer/director Greta Gerwig...

If Sarah Greenwood wins the Oscar for Barbie, Nathan Crowley will officially become the most nominated production designer without a single win. You may be familiar with his name from many Christopher Nolan pictures since he's worked on most of them. But most is not all, and this past year, the British production designer was absent from the Oppenheimer credits. Ruth De Jong did that job and is now up for an Oscar thanks to it. Crowley, however, was less fortunate. Instead of the blockbuster biopic, he was busy re-imagining the wondrous world of Roald Dahl for Wonka – new on PVOD if you want a taste of Chalamet…...

Greta Gerwig's streak continues with her third consecutive Best Supporting Actress nomination at the Oscars. Gerwig's Barbie received a total of eight nominations, including Best Picture. Although America Ferrera is not the favorite, there's a chance she could win Best Supporting Actress and become Gerwig's first Best Supporting Actress Oscar winner.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) announced the nominations for the 2024 Oscars on January 23, and Greta Gerwig surprisingly didn't receive a nod in the Best Director category for her work on Barbie. However, a (pleasantly) shocking nomination in a different category continued one of the filmmaker's streaks at the Oscars. Although the Academy didn't recognize Gerwig for directing the highest-grossing movie of 2023 and the highest-grossing film for a female director ever, they did applaud the work of someone else who worked on the fantasy comedy.

With 13 nominations, Christopher Nolan’s movie looks to dominate awards season, though there’s still room for Emma Stone and Kendearing Ryan Gosling
News: Oppenheimer beats BarbieFull list of nominations
As Samuel Goldwyn apocryphally remarked in 1945: “This A-bomb – it’s dynamite!!” With 13 Bafta nominations, Christopher Nolan’s mighty historical bio-epic Oppenheimer continues its triumphal march through awards season. It stars Cillian Murphy as the wartime inventor of nuclear weaponry J Robert Oppenheimer, galvanised by America’s race to get the bomb before the Nazis, transfixed by the dark ecstasy of the successful Trinity test in the New Mexico desert, then agonised with his postwar burden of guilt and horror. The Bafta voters have responded passionately to the scale, ambition and seriousness of this work from this remarkable British director; its wartime setting also reinforces its prestige-eligibility (like last year’s Bafta nomination list which overwhelmingly favoured All Quiet on the Western Front).

“Oppenheimer” composer Ludwig Göransson and editor Jennifer Lame, “Killers of the Flower Moon” cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, and Billie Eilish and Finneas are among the recipients of Variety’s Artisans Awards.
The honorees will be feted at the Santa Barbara Film Festival on Feb. 11 at the Arlington Theatre.
Now in its tenth year, Variety‘s partnership with the Santa Barbara Film Festival celebrates the artisans who have showcased the most innovative work of the year in their craft.
“With writers and actors on strike for the better half of 2023, it was artisans who held the entertainment industry up. They showed their vitality to the filmmaking process and championed their respective films,” said Variety’s senior artisans editor Jazz Tangcay. “At Variety, we cherish the craft and are passionate about hearing their stories. This year, there was an embarrassment of riches in the world-building of films, and it’s wonderful to partner with Roger Durling,...

Host Chelsea Handler was among those responsible for bringing Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie to the stage at Sunday night’s Critics Choice Awards to accept the best comedy movie award for Barbie in an unplanned moment.
The award was announced early in the night as a roundup of several categories before a commercial break, with the camera cutting briefly to the Barbie table, where Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera (who was honored with the SeeHer Award) and others cheered the news. While the film won a total of six awards, only one of those categories (best song for “I’m Just Ken”) was presented onstage with the winners able to give an acceptance speech.
Later in the show, Handler surprised attendees and viewers — and the Barbie folks — by rectifying that.

Take that, Golden Globes. Chelsea Handler did a masterful job hosting the 29th Annual Critics Choice Awards, nailing the jokes and showing she completely understood the assignment. Hosting for the second consecutive year, Handler kept the show on track and even called an audible late into the broadcast, bringing Barbie‘s Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie to the stage to accept the Best Comedy Movie award – one of a dozen not scheduled to be handed out on stage.
The acceptance speeches were heartfelt, lively, and memorable, and America Ferrera’s SeeHer acceptance speech will go down as one of the better speeches in Critics Choice Awards‘ history. Harrison Ford kept his Career Achievement Award acceptance speech short, recognizing the positive changes in the industry over his decades as an actor.

The run of show for the Critics Choice Awards got a surprise update when host Chelsea Handler decided to “go rogue” and call Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie to the stage.
Gerwig and Robbie’s “Barbie” had picked up a host of awards during the evening, but many were presented during the commercial breaks, including best comedy. That wasn’t going to work for Handler, who dedicated a good portion of her monologue to saluting “Barbie” for its $1.4 billion box office achievement and cultural relevance amid “The Year of the Woman.”
“I’m gonna go rogue because Greta and Margot deserve the opportunity to make an acceptance speech,” Handler said. “Would you mind coming up and accepting the award?”
The camera cut to Gerwig and Robbie, who excitedly scrambled to the stage from their table.
“Thank you, Chelsea. We love you so much,” Robbie said onstage. “You know, when everyone is like ‘Oh,...

The great Paul Giamatti seems well on his way towards winning an Oscar for The Holdovers, with the actor taking home another prestigious award at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards. Emma Stone also took home a trophy for Poor Things. At the same time, Christopher Nolan and Oppenheimer dominated the rest of the big awards, making it seem like the giant iceberg a lot of other awards season hopefuls are bound to crash into. The other half of the Barbenheimer equation, Barbie, was no slouch either, taking home a Best Screenplay award and Best Comedy. Still, it was shut out of the acting awards, with Robert Downey Jr. on his way to a potential Oscar win, nabbing best-supporting actor for Oppenheimer. Da’Vine Joy Randolph won a much-deserved Best Supporting Actress award for The Holdovers. Poor Bradley Cooper and Maestro were entirely shut out, with that film’s chances of winning major...
