The penultimate episode of “The Stand” finally paid off what Stephen King fans knew was coming ever since the project was greenlit: the destruction of Randall Flagg aka the Dark Man’s (Alexander Skarsgård) debaucherous Las Vegas community.
As Randall screams about the traitors in their midst and has Larry (Jovan Adepo) and Ray (Irene Bedard) chained inside a pool that is slowly being filled with water, ominous clouds drift into the Inferno through the hole in the ceiling, followed by lightning rods. These rods strike everything from railings to tapestries on the wall to individual people, including Randall, exposing his true nature. His followers flee, losing faith in him and trampling each other in the process. Eventually the rods hit the nuke on which Trashcan Man (Ezra Miller) rode in, causing the entire building to erupt in a mushroom cloud that can be seen for hundreds of miles.

“Long form offers us new challenges but also opportunities to tell bigger stories,” explains production designer Aaron Haye. After a career designing for films like “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and “Star Trek,” he made his first foray into television with the Paramount+ limited series, “The Stand.” Haye looked to honor the original Stephen King novel while making the story “fresh and contemporary.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Haye’s most gargantuan set piece in “The Stand” is New Vegas. The evil Randall Flagg (Alexander Skarsgard) takes over Sin City after an apocalypse wipes out most of humanity, and turns it into his own twisted dystopia. The designer crafted the Inferno Casino, Flagg’s home base, as if it was infected with evil. A large pillar of glass sprouts from the body of a real Vegas hotel. “The same way that Flagg inserts himself into vulnerable people,...

While “Bohemian Rhapsody” lost at the Costume Designer Awards on Tuesday, it still ended up winning the most precursor prizes of the eight Best Picture nominees at the Oscars. This biopic of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury won with four of the nine guilds at which it contended. It lost with the art directors, costume designers, makeup artists/hairstylists, producers and visual effects wizards.
Two of its Academy Awards rivals for the top award — “Black Panther” and “The Favourite” — did win over the costume designers. These victories in the fantasy and period film races respectively brought their overall hauls to three apiece. “Black Panther” had previously prevailed with the actors and art directors while “The Favourite” scored with the art directors and film editors. They are now tied with “Green Book,” which had wins with the actors, casting directors and producers.

With the Writers Guild and Motion Picture Sound Editors awards on Sunday (February 17), we’ve now heard from 12 of the 13 guilds. The costume designers don’t weigh in till hours after Oscar voting ends on Tuesday, February 19.
The winners with the writers were “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” (adapted”) and “Eighth Grade” (original) while “A Quiet Place” took the top sound editing award. The Oscar frontrunner for Best Original Screenplay, “The Favourite,” was ineligible at the WGA Awards. Over on the sound side, two other Best Picture nominees, “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Roma,” picked up two and one prizes respectively.
“Bohemian Rhapsody” had also won on Saturday with the sound mixers at the Cinema Audio Society Awards. That one-two punch moves this biopic of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury into first on our guild awards scorecard with four wins following its success with the actors and film editors.

It took till the last weekend of guild awards season but “A Star is Born” finally picked up a prize at the Makeup and Hair Styling Awards on Saturday, February 16. This win for best contemporary makeup was particularly welcome as Bradley Cooper‘s remake of the Hollywood classic lost at the other guild awards of the evening. The Cinema Audio Society went with “Bohemian Rhapsody” for Best Sound Mixing.
This marked the third victory to date for the biopic of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury following its success with the actors and film editors. “Crazy Rich Asians” picked up its third prize as well, with a win for contemporary hairstyling. It had previously won over both the art and casting directors. Each is now tied with “Green Book,” which has wins with the actors, casting directors and producers.
Two more guilds — the sound editors and writers — will chime in on Sunday.

We’ re now more than two-thirds along the road to the Oscars with 9 of the 13 guilds having weighed in with their picks before academy voters begin casting their final ballots on Feb. 12. “Green Book” has won with the three of the eight groups heard from to date: actors, casting directors and producers.
After their success with the art directors, “Black Panther” and “The Favourite” are now tied with “Bohemian Rhapsody” at two wins apiece as detailed below. And “Roma” got on the scoreboard with that DGA win for multi-hyphenate Alfonso Cuaron, who lost the cinematography award on Feb. 9 to “Cold War” lenser Lukasz Zal.
Three more groups — makeup artists & hair stylists, sound editors and writers — announce their winners during the eight days of voting for the Academy Awards. And the costume designers hold their awards mere hours after Academy Awards balloting ends on Feb. 20.

We are now more than halfway along the road to the Oscars as the seventh of 13 guilds — the Visual Effects Society — handed out its precursor prizes on Feb. 5. Only one of the Best Picture nominees was in the running: “Bohemian Rhapsody” lost its bid for best supporting visual effects to “First Man.” That marked the first guild win for Damien Chazelle‘s biopic of Neil Armstrong.
The big winner with the Ves was “Avengers: Infinity War” which swept its four categories, including the guild equivalent of Best Picture – visual effects in a feature motion picture. Among its other wins was effects simulations. While it had contended for its depiction of Wakanda, the home of Black Panther, it won instead for bringing Titan to the screen. That wasn’t surprising given that the Ves had snubbed “Black Panther” across the board.

The 23rd annual Art Directors Guild Awards took place on Saturday (Feb. 2). These kudos have a stellar record at previewing the winner of the Best Production Design race at the Academy Awards. Over the first 22 years of these prizes, the eventual Oscar champ has always numbered among the Adg nominees in the various genre categories. Fifteen of the Academy Award winners first prevailed with the guild, including the last five in a row.
The current Oscar frontrunner for this award, “The Favourite,” won at the Adg in the period category over, among others, two of its Oscar rivals: “First Man” and “Roma.” That race was rounded out by “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” One of the other two Academy Awards contenders — “Black Panther” — won the Adg fantasy film prize. The fifth Oscar nominee, “Mary Poppins Returns,” contended in that race. The contemporary award went to “Crazy Rich Asians.

With the Ace Eddie Awards on Feb. 1, we’ve now heard from 4 of the 13 guilds who give out prizes. “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which had already racked up a win with SAG for lead Rami Malek, won with the cutters on the drama side. That moves it into second place on our guild awards scorecard behind “Green Book” which has won over the actors, casting directors and producers to date. And “The Favourite” got on the board with its comedy/musical win at the Ace Eddies.
On Feb. 2, we’ll hear from the directors (“Roma” helmer Alfonso Cuaron is tipped to take that prize) and the art directors who hand out awards in three genres. We expect “The Favourite” to win the period prize, “Black Panther” to claim the fantasy award and “Crazy Rich Asians” to nab the contemporary honor.

On Thursday Jan. 31, the casting directors chimed in with their choices. This weekend, three more groups (art directors, directors, film editors) will hand out prizes. And two more — the lensers and visual effects wizards — hold their awards before final Oscar voting begins on Feb. 12.
Four more groups — makeup artists & hair stylists, sound mixers, sound editors and writers — weigh in during the eight days of voting for the Academy Awards. And the costume designers have their say hours after Oscar balloting ends on Feb. 20.
“A Star is Born,” which reaped eight Oscar nominations, is in the running for 12 of the 13 guild awards missing out only with Visual Effects Society. It has yet to win with any of the three groups heard from to date.

“In all the movies I’ve done, I’ve never quite seen this confluence of people’s belief in the project they’re working on,” says “Bohemian Rhapsody” cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel. The film has generated a lot of press for its behind-the-scenes drama (director Bryan Singer was fired before shooting was completed), so the veteran cameraman admits he was “concerned that all this unbelievable effort and love that people were putting into it would be for naught.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Sigel above.

Sigel’s fears were finally put to rest when this biopic about Queen frontman Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek) opened so well at the box office. As of this writing it has grossed $750 million worldwide. “To see the movie received by the public so phenomenally,” combined with its recent Golden Globe victories for Best Film Drama and Best Film...

Though it was his first credited feature film as a production designer, Aaron Haye was cool as a cucumber making “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The art department veteran and erstwhile model maker felt “really comfortable with the material and with the team that we put together,” which put his mind at ease. Watch our exclusive video interview with Haye above.

This 20th Century Fox release chronicles the life of Freddie Mercury (Rami Malek), from the formation of the band Queen through their legendary performance at the Live Aid concert in 1985. As a designer, Haye tries to “absorb all the research I can possibly get my hands on,” and because Queen had such a high public profile “there’s a tremendous amount available online and in print.” He adds, “Knowing that the primary part of our...

After watching it, though, who the hell at 20th Century Fox thought any of what passes for history and entertainment in Bohemian Rhapsody was right? And what’s worse is this is what audiences and Queen fans think is masterful and respectful storytelling?!
