Netflix describes del Toro’s film as an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s gothic novel. Its three wins recognize the visual construction of that adaptation through costumes, makeup and hairstyling, and production design. Readers interested in the story behind the film can turn to Shelley’s Frankenstein; no particular edition is identified here as an official tie-in.
After the production-design win, Tamara Deverell thanked del Toro, saying: “Thank you for your humanity and your artistry. You are truly a master storyteller. It was an honor for us to help steer your fantastic operatic ship.” Netflix reported that Deverell, the film’s production designer, addressed del Toro directly in her acceptance remarks. Its Oscar coverage includes the quote and win details.
