The award is given to those whose body of work in the film industry has richly enhanced the visual aspects of the movie-going experience, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Past recipients include Martin Scorsese, Warren Beatty, Clint Eastwood, Norman Jewison, John Lasseter, George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Blake Edwards.
Blass and James Pearse Connelly said in a joint statement, "Christopher Nolan's body of work reflects a clear appreciation for the contribution Production Design brings to the stories he brings to life. His creative legacy is quite remarkable and it demonstrates a great love and respect for our visual medium.
Nolan most recently directed 'Interstellar'. Other credits include 'Batman Begins', 'The Dark Knight', 'The Dark Knight Rises', 'Inception', 'The Prestige' and 'Insomnia'.
