Hungarian set decorator of Poor Things may win the Oscar!

Poor Things was made in Hungary and was nominated for the Academy Award in 11 categories, including the Academy Award for Best Production Design. Thus, Zsuzsa Mihalek may be awarded the Oscar at this year’s gala.

According to origo.hu, many movie journals wrote that Mihalek had a good chance to win it. Thus, Hungary could have an Oscar even in 2024. In 2022, another Hungarian set decorator, Zsuzsnna (Zsuzsi) Sipos, won the Academy Award for Best Production Design for Dune. We wrote about her and her success in THIS article. Dune was also shot in Hungary.

The 96th Oscar Gala will take place on 10 March. Poor Things received nominations in 11 categories. As a result, it has the second most nominations following Oppenheimer’s 13.

Zsuzsa Mihalek, James Price and Shona Heath worked as the set decorators of the movie.

Experts believe that the Oscar will go either to Poor Things or Barbie. Both are feminist productions set in an unreal visual world.
