Oscars 2017: Predicting All The Nominees

12. Achievement In Production Design

Oscar Nominations
Paramount Pictures

Production Design is usually split between big blockbusters and period dramas, and things should be no different this year. So much so, in fact, that one of the major frontrunners is a bit of both: Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, a Harry Potter-sized movie set in a gorgeous 1920s New York.

Another movie that combines period with plenty of scope and ambition is Hail, Caesar!, so this gives the Coens' movie a good chance for some recognition. La La Land will no doubt get a nod too (and has a good chance of getting the win, since it'll be the go-to option for many voters), with the likes of Jackie, Silence, Arrival, and Rogue One competing for the last two spots.

Likely Nominees:

Arrival

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them

Hail, Caesar!

La La Land

Jackie

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
