Costume Designers Guild Predictions: ‘Dune’, ‘House of Gucci,’ ‘No Time to Die’ Expected to Appear
variety.comClayton Davis The nominations for the Costume Designers Guild Awards will be released on Wednesday, recognizing the achievements of the artisans that created some of the most memorable outfits and clothing designs of the year.
Following the 10-month eligibility window, the community of over 1,200 members separates the film categories into three groups — contemporary, period and sci-fi/fantasy.The distinctions between contemporary and period tend to get blurred, especially with modern subjects like Princess Diana in “Spencer” and Venus and Serena Williams in “King Richard” among the selections.
However, per the CDG rules, “any entry with at least 51% of all costumes existing in a historical era greater than 25 years [on or before December 31, 1995] from the current entry year will be considered a period entry.” That puts Jacqueline Durran (“Spencer”) and Sharen Davis (“King Richard”) into the period film field, where it’s indisputably the most competitive.
Three of the five nominees from CDG typically translate to an Oscar nomination for best costume design. Ten of the last 11 winners for period film have received an Oscar nod, except the eventual Oscar-winner “Little Women” by Jacqueline Durran, who may have missed CDG due to late screeners.
