If you watched the Academy Awards last night, you would have seen history being made! Local history! Tamara Deverell is a legendary production designer who has worked on movies like Nightmare Alley, Priscilla, Star Trek, and most recently Guillermo del Toro’s movie Frankenstein.
She moved to Cape Breton a few years back, but last night she was in L.A. for the big night, the Academy Awards! She was nominated for her work on Frankenstein, and she won! She shares the win with another Nova Scotian, Shane Vieau of Dartmouth. This is Shane’s second Oscar win, his first was for his work on the 2017 film, The Shape of Water.
As far as I could find, they would be only the 6th & 7th Nova Scotians ever to win an Academy Award!
Check out the behind the scenes of Frankenstein.
