Art & Crafts LIVE: The Nominees – Outstanding Production Design

In the second of four special episodes recorded live on August 1 at the American Society of Cinematographers Clubhouse in Los Angeles, Jeannine Oppewall — a four-time Oscar nominee for art direction on films including L.A. Confidential and The Good Shepherd — sits down with two of this year’s Emmy contenders in production design: Glenda Rovello is nominated for her work on Frasier, from Paramount+ and CBS Studios, and Gianna Costa got the nod for the MTV reality series RuPaul’s Drag Race. Costa describes the “seat-of-your-pants thinking” that powers a fast-moving competition show, and Rovello recalls how the innovative set design of the original Frasier informed her decisions on the reboot. They also share how playing with color and making room for movement help set the stage for great TV storytelling.
