The Hollywood awards season will soon be in full swing, starting with the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards on September 20 at 8/7c on ABC. Gone is the stargazing on the couture-laden red carpet at the Microsoft Theater, as this year, television’s biggest night enters new territory with a virtual broadcast hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
Design aficionados, however, should tune in before that, to see if their favorite show makes the cut at the Creative Arts Emmys, where hopeful production designers, art directors, and set decorators have their turn in the spotlight. Honoring outstanding production design and artistic achievements, the virtual ceremonies stream on Emmy.com on Monday, September 14th through Thursday, September 17th at 8/7c and Saturday, September 19th at 8/7c on FXX.
Herewith, AD takes a look at some of the more memorable moments in set design this year.

The movie studio commissary in Hollywood features refurbished chairs from the real Warner Brothers studios.
Courtesy of NetflixDesigning Tinsel Town for the Netflix series Hollywood was a job tailor-made for production designer Matthew Flood Ferguson, a film buff and design devotee of Hollywood’s Golden Age.
The brainchild of Ryan Murphy, the show tells the tale of both real and fictional aspiring actors, screenwriters, studio bosses, and producers during the industry’s heyday in the 1940s. Ferguson and set decorator Melissa Licht created Los Angeles bungalows, a mid-century gas station, the studio commissary, and even iconic landmarks such as the pink and green palm-leaf patterned suites of the Beverly Hills Hotel and the famous lunch counters at Schwab’s Pharmacy.
“I wanted [to] capture the architectural movements developing in Southern California in the early part of the 20th century. For many of our interiors, I wanted to pay homage to the great designs of Billy Haines and as a fun little nod, pull references from old films from the 1930s and 1940s,” says Ferguson, who looked to classic black and white celebrity stills from Getty Images (that grace the walls of the commissary) for inspiration. For the Hollywood apartment of leading-man-hopeful Jack Costello (played by David Corenswet), he referenced the 1947 film Kiss of Death, the wallpaper from Joan Bennett’s apartment in Fritz Lang’s Scarlet Street, and the architectural details and plaster walls of the character Joe Gillis’s studio in Sunset Boulevard.
