OUTSTANDING ART DIRECTION FOR A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOVIE

Production Design by Bill Groom; Set Design by Carol Silverman for (“Eldorado”), Boardwalk Empire

Production Design by Deborah Riley; Set Design by Rob Cameron for (“Hardhome”), Game of Thrones

Production Design by Julie Berghoff; Set Design by Sophie Neudorfer for Olive Kitteridge


AND THE WINNER IS:



PRODUCTION DESIGN BY DAN BISHOP; SET DESIGN BY CLAUDETTE DIDUL FOR (“LOST HORIZON”), MAD MEN


This is the second win for Dan Bishop and first win for Claudette Didul for their art direction of Mad Men Season 7 Episode “Lost Horizon”. Dan Bishop previously won for Mad Men (2009). This is Dan Bishop’s sixth nomination being previously nominated for Mad Men (2010-2013). This is Claudette Didul’s fourth nomination being previously nominated for Mad Men (2011-2013).


2015 for me marks the end of the greatest television show with Mad Men coming to an end and just as the show came to an end so did SC&P and in the episode Lost Horizon we saw the physical end of the offices featured from the beginning of season 4. Dan Bishop and Claudette Didul have been doing work together for Mad Men since season 4 and showing the rotting offices of SC&P must have been hard for the pair to do but their work in taking away the life of this set was a masterful work. Seeing the walls and ceiling ripped apart and small amounts of furniture throughout the offices was heartbreaking as a fan of the show and really shows how well art directed this episode and the season was overall by these two being able to cause me to have an emotional reaction the destruction of these offices once filled with life and people we all loved.
