PanARMENIAN.Net - The production designers of The Great Gatsby, Gravity and Her won awards in the feature film categories at the 18th annual Art Directors Guild's Excellence in Production Design Awards, Saturday at the Beverly Hilton, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Andy Nicholson received his third ADG Award for the space-set Gravity; he previously won for The Golden Compass and Sleepy Hollow.

Near future set Her was the first ADG Award for K.K. Barrett.

Gravity, The Great Gatsby and Her are all nominated for the Oscar in production design, along with ADG period film category nominees 12 Years a Slave and American Hustle.

Behind the Candelabra production designer Howard Cummings took home the honor for television movie or miniseries, while Game of Thrones' Gemma Jackson and her team won for one-hour single camera television series. Jim Gloster's Veep team one for half hour single-camera television series.
