Best in Show: Poor Things, Lord of the Rings, and those pesky Golden Globes

In this art direction-focused episode of Best in Show, Mia chats with the production designers behind the mad world of Poor Things —James Price and Shona Heath—about their human anatomy-inspired sets, and Gemma catches up with an old friend: Grant Major, Academy Award-winning production designer of a little film saga called The Lord of the Rings . The crew also hears from a few contenders at the Governors Awards (including a serenade from The Holdovers ’ Dominic Sessa), rages against the SAG nomination snubs (WHERE is Charles Melton?!) and goes in on those Golden Globes (Stone and Gladstone world domination). Oh, and Mark Ruffalo, Yorgos Lanthimos and ol’ blue eyes Cillian Murphy may just stop by, too.
