"Tech Support": Best Art Direction - Volume I
The Academy Award for Best Art Direction is annually presented to two notable individuals from the victorious film’s art department: the production designer, responsible for set creation and design, and the set decorator, largely in charge of the details and knick knacks that bring a given set to life. (Much apologies for gross oversimplification of these roles). A film’s art department is not only assigned the responsibility of creating sets and props appropriate and serving of a film’s narrative, but they also need to make sure these sets and props can physically withstand the process of shooting the film. Practicality goes a long way.
