Production designer Christian M. Goldbeck gave a shout-out to All Quiet on the Western Front‘s director Edward Berger and his team of APDs following the film’s Oscar win for Best Production Design. “I am completely blown away,” Goldbeck said. “To our beautiful director Edward Berger, I could not have not have done this without you.” He continued, “This whole thing was a real team effort.

My heart goes to all the other APDs, who worked on this project,” reiterating “I could not have done this without you.” Set decorator Ernestine Hipper first thanked her parents, her sisters and “dear friends,” She continued: “When I started this, I was told Ernestine, don’t ever forget, you’re only as good as your team.

So this is to all the hard-working people in Prague, and all the teams that helped me to get on this stage, the Academy, thank you so much.” Goldbeck and Hipper bested the teams behind James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way Of Water (production design: Dylan Cole and Ben Procter, set decorator: Vanessa Cole), Damien Chazelle’s Babylon (production design: Florencia Martin, set decorator: Anthony Carlino), Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis (production design: Catherine Martin, Karen Murphy), set decorator: Bev Dunn), Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans (production design: Rick Carter, set decorator: Karen O’Hara).
