And Scenic Artist Lisa Frazza was presented with a Lifetime Award for her work on shows such as Jeopardy, The Bold and the Beautiful and Dancing with the Stars. The Cinematic Imagery Award, given by the Guild in recognition to filmmakers who have had a lasting impact on the creation of the visual narrative, was given to director Jason Reitman. Presented by Saturday Night actor Lamorne Morris, Reitman was recognized for his body of work, including Saturday Night, Juno, Tully, Young Adult and Up in the Air. Reitman accepted the award with comments of disbelief and self-depreciation, crediting the crews and designers he has had the pleasure of working with, and calling out designers Steve Saklad, Kevin Thompson, François Audouy and Jess Gonchor for their contributions to his films. The ADG Awards ceremony also announces the induction of legendary designers into the Art Directors Guild Hall of Fame. This year, the work of Carl Jules Weyl was recognized for a career of designing such classic films as Casablanca, The Big Sleep, Mission to Moscow and The Adventures of Robin Hood for which he won the Academy Award for Art Direction at the 1938 ceremony.
