January hasn't truly begun in awards season until the guilds and societies start ringing in, and they're finally up and running with today's announcement of the nominees for the Art Directors Guild's 2022 awards. Movies aren't eligible for more than one prize here so there are no frontrunners in terms of nominations tallies. These are pretty good overall though, with the expected contenders joined by a few mild surprises, and no undeserving nominees. Winners will be announced on 18 January.
