While Eddie Redmayne picks up yet another Academy Award Nomination this year for his performance in THE DANISH GIRL as Einar Wagener/Lili Elbe, and Alicia Vikander picks up her first Oscar nomination as Gerda Wegener, key artisans instrumental in creating the persona of Redmayne’s and Vikander’s characters also heard Oscar calling their name this morning.
As nominee for Best Achievement in Production Design, her fourth, Eve Stewart had this to say about her nomination for THE DANISH GIRL:
“I am thrilled, and grateful, for the acknowledgment from the AMPAS voters. Our movie coalesced beautifully under the guidance of our great director, Tom Hooper. I proudly share this nomination with Michael Standish, and we are so happy that our wonderful colleagues from THE DANISH GIRL were also recognized.”

Joining Stewart with his second Oscar Nomination is Paco Delgado for Best Achievement in Costume Design. Delgado issued the following statement following the announcement of his nomination:
“Hearing my name in the nominees list this year made me very happy, and I want to thank the Academy for this wonderful nomination. My team and I are so grateful to AMPAS members to have thought that our work in The Danish Girl is worthy of such an important award. To be nominated is a massive honor, particularly among the other amazing designers whose work I profoundly admire. What a big reward! I also want to thank Tom Hooper and the producers for allowing me to design the wonderful love story of transgender pioneer Lili Elbe and her wife Gerda Wegener.”
