On behalf of the Board of Directors and the Council of the Art Directors Guild it is my pleasure to welcome you to our 16th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards Banquet. Tonight kicks off our 75th year as an established organization. Our members are all leaders in the art of narrative design for the moving image, and we have assembled tonight to celebrate their collective body of excellent works. This evening we will pay tribute not only to this year’s production design nominees, but also all of those who practice our craft with integrity and artistry.

Our Guild first began in 1924 as an informal collective of design pioneers and expatriates calling itself the Cinemagundi Club. Since that time it has evolved and continues to grow as a union of unique souls. In 1937 it transformed itself into the Society of Motion Picture Art Directors. That journey from 1937 to now is what we celebrate tonight. Since our founding many milestones and advancements in technology have come and gone. But the one constant remains the talents of our members who provide that visual catalyst for the narrative adventure. Regardless of the tools required, they have the ability to look at nothing and see everything…. all the possibilities and potential contained within the story. Technologies will continue to evolve and at times either aid or befuddle the process, but it is our human and intuitive leadership that remains our most significant contribution to the stories journey. As the mentors and champions of our past have inspired us, today’s practitioners continue to apply their most human gifts of observation, passion, and imagination to the challenge of making the impossible possible.

Tonight we celebrate one of our professions most diverse and prolific practitioners by extending our Lifetime Achievement Honor to production, scenic, and costume designer, Tony Walton. Tony is a whirling dervish whose career encompasses designing sets, costumes, and graphics for the theatre, opera, ballet, film, television and publishing. He has worked in the capacity of a producer and continues to work as a director. Tony is one of the very few designers who has originated his designs in the theatre and then translated those same concepts into a work of film. His sense of whimsy and joy, and his passion for what he does elevates both the work and those who have the privilege to share in his vision and journey. Tony is the consummate designer and gentlemen who has extended the boundaries of all things possible for all of those who share his love of a great story that is well told.

With regards to telling great stories and making the impossible possible, we have the privilege tonight of bestowing our coveted 2011 Contribution To Cinematic Imagery Award, on the master wizards behind the creative cannon of “Harry Potter.” David Heyman, Stuart Craig, J.K. Rowling, David Barron, David Yates, Alfonso Cuaron, Mike Newell, Christopher Columbus, Steve Kloves, Michael Goldenberg, Neil Lamont and Stephenie McMillan, collectively have advanced the art of motion picture storytelling and art direction. Their combined talents have resulted in a body of films that are visually arresting and unique; with an extraordinary attention to detail while always keeping as their first priority the needs and emotions of their characters and story. The many filmmakers and craftspeople that they had assembled have produced a significant legacy of works that will keep future audiences and their colleagues in our profession inspired for many years to come.

This year’s Hall of Fame inductees were all extraordinary pioneers, wizards and masters of our profession as well. William Darling, Alfred Junge and Robert Boyle, have all left a legacy that continues to inspire all those who have chosen Art Direction as their profession. So it is fitting that we honor their memory tonight through their induction into this unique pantheon of master designers.

The ADG is proud to represent the leading practitioners of the art of narrative design for the moving image, and it is these unique individuals who posses the gift of visualization that enables them to look at nothing and see everything!

Tonight we celebrate our “Sweet 16 Awards”; that is, this is the 16th year we have been celebrating Excellence in Production Design, with awards to be given to the best at their craft in feature films, TV programming and commercials.

Besides the competitive awards, bountifully deserved recognition will go to Tony Walton who receives our Lifetime Achievement Award for, among other landmark works, All That Jazz and The Wiz . Tony is also among a select fraternity to have been Oscar-ed, Emmy-ed and Tony-ed – a rare distinction for a rare indi-vidual. In addition to this recognition for Tony, we are inducting into our Hall of Fame Robert Boyle (North by Northwest, In Cold Blood, The Thomas Crown Affair,) William Darling (Anna and the King of Siam, The Song of Bernadette and Cavalcade) and Alfred Junge (Black Narcissus, Mogambo and Goodbye Mr. Chips). The films cited barely scratch the full range of the achievements of each Production Designer, worthy inductees all into the Guild’s Hall of Fame. Finally, our Cinematic Imagery Award goes to the following creative wizards from the Harry Potter films: David Yates, Director, Christopher Columbus, Director, Mike Newell, Director, Alfonso Cuaron, Director, David Heyman, Producer, David Barron, Producer, J.K. Rowling, Author and Producer, Steve Kloves, Screenwriter, Michael Goldenberg, Screenwriter, Stuart Craig, Production Designer, Stephenie McMillan Set Decorator and Neil Lamont, Supervising Art Director. What the award to the Harry Potter team makes evident is that when it comes to the making of a motion picture, television program or commercial, it takes a village of skilled artisans to pull off. And among those highly skilled conjurers of cinemagic are the Production Designers and their Art Department colleagues – Art Directors, Assistants Art Directors, Set Designers and Model Makers, Scenic and Graphic Artists, and Illustrators and Matte Artists. Movie magic does not happen in a vacuum and collaboration among artists is essential. Please join us this evening to honor the profoundly skilled artists recognized by the Guild who have collaborated with so many others to enrich and ennoble our entertainment culture.

Bill Darling was one of the leading and most influential designers in the early days of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and helped to establish what the craft was to become under the major studio system.

Born in Hungary as Wilmos Bela Sandorhaji, Darling studied architectural design and painting at the Royal Hungarian Academy of the True Arts and after graduation pursued a career in fine art as a portrait painter. He moved to Paris when he received a scholarship for further study at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and then on to New York in 1910 where he became a popular and successful artist, painting portraits for wealthy clients.

By the early 1920s, he had changed his name to Darling, his wife’s maiden name, and settled in Southern California. His first motion picture work was with the American Film Plant in Santa Barbara, and he also designed films for then independent producer Louis B. Mayer. William Fox saw his work, met him, and hired the young designer as the chief art and technical director for Fox Studios.

Fox specialized in gentle comedies and dramas of rural American life, and consequently Darling, the Hungarian emigre, became known as a leading interpreter of Americana. This reputation was further enhanced by his collaboration with direc-tor John Ford on films such as The Iron Horse (1924), Judge Priest (1934), and The prisoner of Shark Island (1936). All together, Darling designed twelve films for the influential director.

Fox films were normally modest, but the studio’s few extravaganza’s allowed Darling to show off his prodigious talent. For Cavalcade (1933), based on Noel Coward’s stage play, Darling built the streets of Edwardian London on the Fox backlot, and created richly detailed interiors on the soundstages—an upper-class home, a pub, a music hall— along with larger scenes of World War I, including the departure of British troops for battle in South Africa. The many large sets, such as Trafalgar Square, were praised for their realism and for their insight into the changing social realities of the early twentieth century. The film earned Darling his first Academy Award nomination and statuette.

In Old Chicago (1938) is usually remembered for its spectacular fire scenes, which last 25 minutes on the screen, but equally impressive are Darling’s lavish interior settings, particularly two saloons which are eventually destroyed by the fire. The film became the classic disaster film, a template for all those that followed, right to our present day. The Rains Came (1939) is perhaps the most impressive of Darling’s epics, an exotic romance set in India with a wildly dramatic climax during monsoon rains and a flood, all shot on Fox’s Westwood lot.

Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, Darling produced watercolors and gouache paintings depicting local Los Angeles landmarks. During the 1950s, he became a well-known figure in the Laguna Beach and Palm Springs art communities. His works from this era primarily depict coastal views and desertscapes, painted with watercolor or oil on canvas. He continued to paint until his death in Laguna Beach in 1963, and his oils still draw attention on the auction market.

Darling would go on to win six Oscar nominations and three awards for Cavalcade, The Song of Bernadette (1943) and Anna and the King of Siam (1946). He, along with Richard Day, established the look of Fox’s films during Hollywood’s golden age, and he defined the craft of Production Design in a wide range of genres for the designers who followed him.

Alfred Junge was one of the most important of the European art directors who worked entirely overseas and never emigrated to the United States. He was one of the most influential German production designers of the 1920s, the most productive period in German cinema. Born in 1886, in Görlitz, Germany, Junge had wanted to be an artist from childhood. He joined the Görlitz Stadttheater at eighteen and worked there for over fifteen years, making a name for himself as a stage designer in the teens when expressionism was all the rage in European theater.

Along with many German emigres, Junge began his career in film at Berlin’s UFA studios, working there as an art director from 1920 until 1926, designing a number of important productions including Paul Leni’s Waxworks (1924), one of the most influential movies of the period, particularly on American horror movies produced in the 1930s. As the chief production designer for director E.A. Dupont, Junge’s work showed a rich imagination, influenced by the expressionist movement, and was widely admired throughout the world. When Dupont relocated to British International Pictures in London, Junge continued as his main designer, dividing his time between Britain and Germany, until he left Germany permanently in 1933 after the rise of Hitler. Junge proved equally at home with glossy musicals, romantic melodramas and thrillers, adapting his pseudo-expressionist style to fit the mood of the film. He also was the art director for three Alfred Hitchcock films made in the 1930s: Rich and Strange (1931), Waltzes from Vienna (1933) and The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934).

At Shepherd’s Bush Studios, he was put him in charge of the new Gaumont-British art department where his organizational skills as well as talent came into their own, running a large staff of art directors and craftsmen who worked on any number of films at one time. He gave a distinctive look to such diverse films as The Ghoul (1933), the wonderfully glamorous musical, Evergreen (1934), and, after he moved to MGM’s new British operation, to the nostalgically recreated public school world of Goodbye, Mr. Chips (1939).

Junge spent a brief spell interned as an enemy alien on the Isle of Man, before he returned to London where he began work on King Vidor’s The Citadel (1938). His greatest artistic triumphs, though, were his collaborations with Michael Powell and Emric Pressburger in the 1940s. Powell’s growing interest in libertarian politics and surrealist art led him, in the late thirties, to seek a more personal type of moviemaking. Like Powell, Pressburger was interested in surrealist art, and they formed a fast friendship and artistic partnership that would last for two decades. For much of the Powell-Pressburger golden era (they jointly wrote, produced and directed their films), Junge was the team’s main art director, given a free hand to create designs as he saw fit. Together the team made a group of films that incorporated their many interests—impressionism, surrealism and sensuality. Contraband (1940), The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), I Know Where I’m Going (1945), A Matter of Life and Death (1946) and Black Narcissus (1946) are among the most remarkable commercial films of all time. Unrestrained in theme and style, they set a standard which few filmmak-ers have equaled, particularly A Matter Of Life And Death, with its staircase to heaven and celestial court, and the Oscar-winning Black Narcissus, the latter magically recreating a Himalayan convent at Pinewood and Horsham, Surrey. They are among the most visually imaginative movies ever produced, and quite literally (in the case of the color films of this series) the cinematic equivalent of impressionist paintings. Michael Powell later rated Junge as “probably the greatest art director that films have ever known.”

Junge’s reputation was well established by the late forties and he was inevitably wooed by Hollywood. Remarkably, he decided to remain in England. For most of the remainder of his career, he headed MGM-British’s art department, responsible for the studio’s transatlantic productions such as Ivanhoe (1952).

He was the first film production designer to have one of his pictures hung in the Royal Academy in London. This was a sketch of the Road to Estaminet do Pont which he had done for The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. Black Narcissus earned Junge the Academy Award for Best Art Direction, and he received a second nomination in 1953 for the Arthurian epic Knights of the Round Table.

Production Designer Robert F. Boyle was born in Los Angeles in 1909, and raised partly in Los Angeles and partly in the town of Hanford in the San Joaquin Valley, on his family’s small ranch. He attended the University of Southern California, where he studied architecture and graduated in 1933. Like many young architects completing their training at the height of the Depression, Boyle discovered that job opportunities were limited in the architectural field. While acting as a bit player he was referred to the Paramount Art Department, and he started there soon after as a draftsman. Throughout the 1930s, Paramount’s Art Department, headed by Hans Dreier, regularly brought to life some of the most impressive films in Hollywood.

Boyle was offered his first Art Direction opportunity on the thirteen-part Universal serial Don Winslow of the Navy (1942). While there, his name was mentioned to Alfred Hitchcock, who was at the studio to make a spy thriller which involved a number of locations and sets, including a now famous sequence at the Statue of Liberty. For his first feature as a full-fledged Art Director, Boyle found himself working with the already renowned Mr. Hitchcock on every aspect of Saboteur (1942). After that, Boyle worked with Hitchcock on Shadow of a Doubt (1943), one of his most subtle and brilliant films.

Boyle joined the United States Army Signal Corps during World War II. Trained as a motion picture combat photographer, he was shipped to Europe, arriving not long after the Normandy invasion. He advanced with the American Army all the way into Germany, and even took an unauthorized detour to Berlin to film the fall of that city around the time of Hitler’s suicide.

After returning home, Boyle joined the Art Department at Universal Studios, where he would work for the next ten years. While there, he was the Art Director on nearly forty films, in every genre, from westerns, thrillers and comedies to science fiction films and Abbott & Costello movies. Usually working with limited budgets, Boyle and the other Art Directors at the studio relied on every aspect of the craft of Art Direction to create impressive-looking films with very few resources.

In the late 1950s, Boyle rejoined Hitchcock at Columbia on North by Northwest (1959), and received the first of his four Academy Award® nominations for this comedy-thriller that takes Cary Grant and the audience from the United Nations building to Mount Rushmore, with a well-known stop in a very flat cornfield. In 1963, Boyle worked again with Hitchcock on the eerie picture The Birds, a tour de force for the director and Boyle as well, who were faced with new logistical and technical challenges in figuring out how to convincingly create vicious attacks by hundreds of birds.

Boyle’s work as one of Hollywood’s most accomplished Production Designers continued through the 1960s and 1970s when he de-signed Cape Fear (1962) for J. Lee Thompson and In Cold Blood (1967) and Bite the Bullet (1975) for Richard Brooks. He was also Production Designer on Leadbelly (1976), a lowbudget film by Gordon Parks about the blues singer Huddie Ledbetter, and Don Siegel’s The Shootist (1976), a revisionist Western which starred John Wayne as a dying gunfighter, and for which Boyle was honored with his fourth Academy Award nomination.

In his later years, he devoted a great deal of his time to the American Film Institute, where he created the Production Design program in their Center for Advanced Film Study. He was also a longtime member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences®, serving on the Academy’s Board of Governors for sixteen years, and he was President of the Art Directors Guild and served for many years on the Guild’s Executive Board. In 1996, when the Guild established its Lifetime Achievement Award, Boyle was its first recipient. In 2001, when the Hollywood Film Festival first recognized Production Designers, Boyle was the inaugural honoree. And in 2008, the Motion Picture Academy, for the first-and-only time in its eighty-year history, awarded an honorary Oscar® to a Production Designer: Robert Boyle.

Boyle helped define Art Direction and the value of the Production Designer. He said, “The basis of Production Design is architectural truth, which becomes an emotional truth as well.”

TONY WALTONTony Walton began his professional career in 1957, and there are few designers with as diverse and prolific a career as his. Whether it is his imaginative concept and costume designs for Mary Poppins, or his valentine to the world of the thirties movie musical in The Boy Friend, or his stylistic and Emmy winning interpretation of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, all of these productions and so many more have been graced with his love for what we all do as designers.

Working as a director and Designer, he has been honored with 16 Tony Award nominations for his sets and costumes, winning for his designs for Pippin, House of Blue Leaves and

Guys and Dolls. He has worked with directors as diverse as Bob Fosse, Sidney Lumet, Paul Newman, Mike Nichols, Ken Russell, Volcker Schlondorf, and Francois Truffaut. Tony has received five Academy Award nominations for Mary Poppins, The Boy Friend, The Wiz and Murder on the Orient Express, winning the Oscar for All That Jazz.

Tony’s graphic work consists of book and magazine illustrations, caricatures for such publications as Playbill, Theatre Arts and Vogue; and many posters for Broadway, Off-Broadway and West End shows. He has co-produced shows in London – three in association with the legendary Hal Prince. His designs for the opera and the ballet have been seen at NYC’s Metropolitan Opera House, London’s Theatre Royal Covent Garden, and Sadler’s Wells.

For the last fifteen years he has been the director – and usually the Designer – for acclaimed productions of many plays by Shaw, Wilde and Coward (along with new work and new musicals by both Irish and American authors) at the Irish Repertory Theatre, The Irish Center, The York Theatre, San Diego’s Old Globe, and Sag Harbor’s Bay Street Theatre.

Tony’s long-time friend and collaborator, director and producer Mike Nichols, describes Tony in comparison to his childhood hero, A. A. Milne’s “Winnie the Pooh,” in this way:

“ Tony is mostly Pooh, about 80%...but about 20% is Eeyore…and about 5% reserved for the solid granite which is revealed if you push him very, very hard…about 50 times.”

Tony remains to all of us the consummate designer, leader and mentor; one who has extended the boundaries of all things possible for all of those working in our profession of narrative design, regardless of the final medium or format. For Tony, designing for film/TV, theatre, opera, special events, and publications are both natural and freely interchangeable. If there has ever been an artist/designer who could look at nothing and see everything it is Tony Walton! It is for these many reasons that the Art Directors Guild takes great pride in extending to him its highest honor during this, our 75th anniversary year.

The Harry Potter film series is the most successful film franchise in motion picture history, having accumulated box office receipts of more than $7.7 billion. To date, five of the eight films have been nominated for a total of nine Academy Awards®, including Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts, American Film Institute, Broadcast Film Critics, International Press Academy and Art Directors Guild have also recognized the outstanding work of the creative team behind the series.

Thomas A. Walsh, president of the Art Directors Guild, says, “Their phenomenal success is due to a unity of vision and the masterful wizardry of the franchise’s creator, producers, screenwriter and art direction family. From the very beginning a unique creative partnership has guided the realization of these finely crafted gems. The result is a lasting legacy to the art of narrative storytelling for the moving image, one that will stand the test of time, and one that has raised the creative bar of achievement for all who love film.”

The Art Directors Guild Cinematic Imagery Award is given to those whose body of work in the film industry has richly enhanced the visual aspects of the movie-going experience. This is the first time that the guild has selected a motion picture series for this award..

A SPECIAL AND PUBLIC THANK YOU FROM TOM WALSH, ADG PRESIDENT.Last year on the morning of our 15th Annual Awards program I found myself being admitted with no advance warning into Saint Josephs Hospital for the treatment of a blood clot in my left leg. With no prodding my teenage son Nico, who is an aspiring Thespian, volunteered to deliver my opening remarks on my behalf at the Hilton that evening. From all reports he did a masterful job, delivering my remarks with great poise and self-confidence. Nico, you made your Mom and Dad very proud so a belated thanks to you for turning in such an award winning performance!

XO, Dad
