The Academy Award for Best Production Design honors outstanding achievement in art direction and set decoration, recognizing the visual artistry that brings a film's environment to life. Originally known as Best Art Direction, the category was renamed in 2012 to better reflect the collaborative efforts of designers and decorators. Past winners include "The Grand Budapest Hotel" (2014) and "Mad Max: Fury Road" (2015), both celebrated for their immersive and innovative settings. This year's nominees continue this tradition of excellence, showcasing remarkable creativity and craftsmanship in film design.
