The runaway hit LOST hurdled through facets of time, jumping from today, to yesterday & tomorrow, from Biblical temples to modern offices, from the origins of the slave ship The Black Rock and a village of its day to a modern submarine and a Russian hospital, to…wait for it…the original crashed plane, re-created in various aspects for this last season. The hit series held its audience throughout, the believable sets anchoring its wild ride.

TRUEBLOOD

Art Director Cat Smith
HBO
The sets for the small southern town of Bon Temps, Louisianacontinued to compel in Season 2 of TRUE BLOOD, including the depiction of a maenad’s takeover and degradation of the main character’s house. In contrast, the big-city Vampire Hotel was modern and sleek, as was the lair of an ancient teenage vampire…until it was blown up! The aftermath of the destruction seemed to echo the ages, befitting of this hit phantasmagoric episodic.

Outstanding Art Direction For A Multi-Camera Series
The resurgence of comedies underscores the value of the current nominated multi-camera shows, which include two sitcoms and two comedic romances.
THE BIG BANG THEORY
Set Decorator Ann Shea SDSA
Production Designer John Shaffner
CBS
Brilliant but socially inept physicists share an apartment and differing views in the comedy hit THE BIG BANG THEORY, including the universe of possibilities the comely neighbor brings into their lives. Vintage futuristic furnishings versus mid-west femme, amazing comic book store versus classic restaurants, Las Vegas versus cafeterias – there’s a dichotomy everywhere you look!

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER

Passing the 100th episode, the love-story-in-reverse HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER still maintains a fresh, creative energy that is translated immediately through its richly layered, award-winning sets. The range and depth of the design and decoration for this romantic comedy belie the half-hour time slot.

THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE
Set Decorator Amy Feldman SDSA
Production Designer Cabot McMullen

Saying goodbye with class, the final season of THE NEW ADVENTURES OF OLD CHRISTINE still looked as great as the star character, with pop and sass and genuineness…and all on a small budget! We couldn’t help but root for Christine, and the sets helped make her all the more real.
