(color and symbol key at bottom of page)

Wesley Lovell: With Frankenstein and One Battle After Another the only nominees that won at the Art Directors Guild awards along with the BAFTA win, I’d say Frankenstein is firmly in the lead. The only nominee I can see overcoming Frankenstein isn’t One Battle or Sinners but Hamnet, which has the most extensive sets of any of the other nominees.
Pete Patrick: Frankenstein should walk away with this one.
Thomas La Tourrette: This is another prediction I am making before the guild awards have been handed out, but I imagine that will go to Frankenstein. It already has Critics Choice and BAFTA awards and it is on its way to an Oscar win as well.
