The Oscar voting deadline is today at 5 PM PST and if there are any Academy stragglers looking for help from the guilds they not only got the Cinematographers this morning and now the Costume Designers Guild have weighed in with their nominees in three categories — Contemporary, Period and Fantasy Films.
Obviously when it comes to Oscar predictions it’s natural to lean toward period pieces and in this case it’s interesting to see neither The Invisible Woman or The Book Thief among the nominees. I also wonder if Casey Storm can end up with an Oscar nomination with her near-future designs in Her, a film I didn’t even have among my predictions (which, to be honest, were a little dusty they’d been so ignored), but have now moved into the top five.
I have included the complete list of nominees below and you can see my updated Best Costumes Oscar predictions right here. The winners will be announced on Saturday, February 22.
