The Academy Awards are the oldest awards ceremony for achievements in motion pictures. The Academy Award for Best Production Design recognizes achievement in art direction on a film. The category’s original name was Best Art Direction but was changed to its current name in 2012 for the 85th Academy Awards. This change resulted from the Art Director’s branch of the Academy being renamed the Designer’s branch. Since 1947 the award is shared with the Set Decorator(s).
