“This is an unbelievably exciting moment and a wonderful early birthday present! I must thank the designers branch of the Academy for recognizing the work of our amazing team who together helped shape the wonderful world for this story to come to life. We would not have had that chance if it wasn’t for Miles Dale and Fox Searchlight putting it all together. Of course all of us have Guillermo to thank for his creative vision and relentless drive. He pushed us all to do our very best and we now have the honor of 13 Oscar nominations!”
–Paul D. Austerberry (Production Designer, The Shape of Water)

Production Designer Sarah Greenwood and Director Joe Wright
“Walking with dogs in a wintery Hyde Park in London, pretending it was just another day. Text and calls coming in – what a thrill, what an honor. Amazing!! We Loved making ‘Beauty and the Beast”…we had the most fantastic, talented and wonderful crews, without whom we would be nothing. Here’s to them, here’s to the Academy and here’s to Disney, and most of all here’s to our fabulous amazing director, Bill Condon, who made ‘Beauty and the Beast’ such a joy.”
–Sarah Greenwood (Production Designer, Beauty and the Beast and Darkest Hour)
