Italian set designer
Alessandra Querzola got an Oscar nomination Tuesday for Blade
Runner 2049.
Friuli-born Querzola is up against the designers of Beauty
and the Beast, The Darkest Hour, Dunkirk and The Shape of Water.
Querzola won the Capri Award at the last edition of the Capri,
Hollywood festival.
Querzola, who trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice,
said she had coped with the pre-nomination stress by going
shopping in Rome with her best friend.
"I tried not to think about it, so I took my best friend and
went shopping. I had to get a dress for the BAFTAs," she said.
She said when she got the call about the Oscar nod on her
cellphone, "it was liberating, the stress fell away".
