You and me both, flipp.
What is most impressive about the art direction in Never Let Me Go is the way it manages to feel both of-the-past and slightly futuristic, which really creates a strong feeling that we are experiencing an alternate history.

I have not seen this film yet, but I thought most of it took place in a desert? Was the rock fake or something? What part of it was a set?
Yup, the cavern sets were fake so the environment could be controlled.
Here's what they did
You get the feeling the Contemporary category amounts to "our favorite non-period movies of the year"?
Only every year I read the list of Contemporary nominees.
Unless I'm blanking, there's nothing missing here from what most of us have considered the prime Oscar art direction contest.
I don't think so, as right now, I'm predicting:
- Alice in Wonderland
- Inception
- The King's Speech
- Shutter Island
- True Grit
But last year, they only called 2 of the 5 nominees, leaving out The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, Nine and The Young Victoria and the year before that, they didn't nominate The Duchess and Revolutionary Road. So, from what it sounds like, the best way to call this would be to wait for the Costume Designer's guild to nominate their choices and see how closely they coincide.

You get the feeling the Contemporary category amounts to "our favorite non-period movies of the year"? It's almost a way for this Guild to stick its paw into the central Oscar race even when its primary guidelines favor the sorts of films named in the first two lists.

While I'm still trying to find the other nominees, here's the article that was posted today:
Art Director Guild Announces Nominations
10:50 PM 1/4/2011 by Gregg Kilday
The King's Speech,' 'Inception,' 'The Social Network' were nominated in all three categories.
As awards season heats up, the Art Directors Guild announced the nominees for its 15th annual Excellence in Production Design Awards on Wednesday morning.
The King's Speech, Inception and The Social Network were among the movies that secured noms in the three film categories.
The ADG has also announced that it will present its Lifetime Achievement Award to production and costume designer Patricia Norris.
Additionally, it will induct Alexander Golitzen, Albert Heschong and Eugene Lourie into its Hall of Fame.
The award winners will be announced Feb. 5 at a black-tie dinner, hosted by Paula Poundstone, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
