As in the vast majority of categories this year, one of the great favorites when Oscar Best Production Design, formerly known as Best Art Direction, is «Twelve Years a Slave«.
Steve McQueen's big rival in this category may be «The Great Gatsby«, A film that is discarded for the main categories after its bad reviews but that continues to be one of the most likely in artistic categories such as best production design and best costume design.
Among the films that are also fighting for the nomination in this section we find films that take us to different times such as «Saving Mr. Banks«, Set in the 50s and 60s,«Inside Llewyn Davis«, Set in the 60s,«American Hustle«, Set in the 70s or«The Book Thief«, Which places us in the Second World War.
It could also be among the nominees «The Hobbit: The Desolation of Samug«, A fantasy film that takes us back to Middle Earth, a fantastic universe created by Tolkien.

"Twelve Years a Slave"
"The Great Gatsby"
With quite a few possibilities:
"Saving Mr. Banks"
"The Hobbit: The Desolation of Samug"
