Costume Designers Guild Announce Nominations for Best of 2015

Continuing this nonstop week of guild nominations, here comes the Costume Designers Guild weighing in on their picks of the best in film for 2015. Honoring the years’ best achievement in costume design, the Costume Designers Guild (CDG) continue the upward swing for slew of Oscar-bound movies including The MartianMad Max: Fury Road and perhaps most inconceivably few months back, Trumbo.

A few fun facts in nominees this year: Sandy Powell (nominated twice for her work in Carol and Cinderella) has been nominated for ten Oscars (winning three for Shakespeare in LoveThe Aviator and The Young Victoria). She has an excellent shot of being a double Oscar nominee this year, something that also occurred in 1998 when she received two nominations for Shakespeare and Todd Haynes’ Velvet Goldmine. Also, Jenny Beaven, whose fun designs in George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road may make the Oscar cut, previously worked on high-brow films including Sense & SensibilityThe Remains of the Day and A Room With a View.
