Skyfall, Anna Karenina and Life of Pi win at the Art Directors Guild awards

Skyfall, Anna Karenina, and Life of Pi were winners at the Art Directors Guild awards on Saturday, a ceremony that celebrates production design in Hollywood.

Skyfall won in the category of contemporary film, staving off competition from Zero Dark Thirty and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

Anna Karenina won for best period film design, beating Les Miserables and Lincoln, while Life of Pi won in the fantasy film category.

Game of Thrones, American Horror Story and Girls won best production design in television along with the 84th Annual Academy Awards, perhaps a hopeful nod to the forthcoming Oscars.
