The Costume Designers Guild (CDG) weighed in with their winners last night awarding The Young Victoria (Sandy Powell) the award for Excellence in Period Film, Crazy Heart (Doug Hall) the award for Excellence in Contemporary Film and Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Monique Prudhomme) the award for Excellence in Fantasy Film.
Of the three winners, Young Victoria and Parnassus are also nominated for the Oscar in Best Costume Design along with Janet Patterson’s work in Bright Star, Catherine Leterrier for Coco Before Chanel and Colleen Atwood for Nine. It should be mentioned that Coco Before Chanel and Nine were also nominated in the CDG’s Period Film category along with Young Victoria.
My current prediction to take home the Oscar is Sandy Powell for The Young Victoria whose work is prominently featured on the film’s official site, which is where the sketch of Emily Blunt’s costume as as Queen Victoria included in this post comes from.
All the nominees are listed below with winners clearly marked:
Excellence in Contemporary Film
Excellence in Period Film
Excellence in Fantasy Film
