FX’s “Shogun” dominated the Emmy nominations Wednesday morning, landing 25 nods. The drama series based on James Clavell’s epic novel landed musician and composer Ross a nomination for music composition for a series while costume designer Carlos Rosario was also nominated.
Speaking with Variety, Rosario explained how he created over 2300 designs for the series set in feudal Japan.
Elswit, who reunited with directed Steven Zaillian for Netflix’s “Ripley,” earned his first Primetime Emmy nod. The Oscar winning DP (“There Will Be Blood”) sat down for Variety’s Inside the Frame series and explained how he wanted to get inside Tom Ripley’s (Andrew Scott) mind and give the series a painterly effect.
“This goes back to his way of bringing Caravaggio into the movie,” Elswit said. Zaillian wanted to create a painterly feeling of what a night exterior painting would’ve looked like in the late 16th century. “They tended to exaggerate the night light that came from the moon and the stars,” said Elswit.
Costume designer Shawna Trpcic , who died last year, earned a posthumous nomination in the outstanding fantasy/sci-fi costumes category for her work on the “Star Wars” series “Ahsoka.”
“Ahsoka” additionally delivered sound editing nominations to a team of “Star Wars” franchise vets from Skywalker Sound, including five-time Oscar-nominee Matthew Wood (“Star Wars” movies “The Force Awakens,” ‘The Rise of Skywalker” and “The Last Jedi”), four-time Emmy winner Bonnie Wild (“The Mandalorian”) and two-time Oscar nominee David Acord (“The Force Awakens,” “The Rise of Skywalker”).
The outstanding prosthetic makeup category was all about the art of transformation. Prosthetics designer and two-time Emmy winner Vincent Van Dyke landed a nomination in the category for Prime Video’s “Fallout.”
On “Fallout,” Van Dyke and makeup department head Jake Garber transformed Walton Goggins into the Ghoul. In total, nine pieces of thin silicon were applied to Goggins’ face. But he also wore silicone pieces on his hand. The transformation initially started at five hours, but Van Dyke and Garber whittled it down to under two hours.
Florian Hoffmeister, the Oscar-nominated DP behind “Tar” and Emmy winner for “Great Expectations,” earned an Emmy nom for “True Detective: Night Country” (cinematography for a limited or anthology series or movie).
