Okay, this is
another troublesome category. I am only
1 for 3, however, after revamping how I calculate odds last year, I picked the
last winner (The Artist) correct. So
I am feeling pretty good this year.
For information
on the role of the Costume Designer and the Voting Procedures check out my post
from last year: 84th
Academy Awards – Best Costume Design.
**********
Nominations:
·
Anna
Karenina
o
Jacqueline
Durran – 3rd nomination.
Durran
has previously been nominated for Atonement and Pride & Prejudice. She is also a past recipient of the BAFTA
award for Vera Drake. Durran is a
period piece guru.
She has been nominated for the BAFTA and Satellite
Award, and has already won the Las Vegas Film Critics Society Award and Broadcast
Film Critics Association Award
·
Les
Miserables
o
Paco
Delgado – 1st nomination.
Although
this is Delgado’s first nomination, he is no strange to working on award
winning films, having previously costumed The Skin I Live In and Biutiful.
Delgado has been nominated
for the BAFTA Award, Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, and the
Satellite Award.
·
Lincoln
o
Joanna
Johnston – 1st nomination.
Johnston
is the go-to costume designer for Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis, and has
also worked with M. Night Shyamalan and Ron Howard; having designed Saving
Private Ryan, The Sixth Sense, Cast
Away, Forrest Gump, Back to the Future Parts II & III,
and the list goes on and on.
Johnston
has been nominated for the BAFTA Award and Broadcast Film Critics Award.
·
Mirror
Mirror
o
Eiko
Ishioka – 2nd nomination, 1 win.
Ishioka
previously won for designing Dracula.
Although
Ishioka has not been nominated for any other award this season, she passed away
last year and since she is an Oscar veteran, she could end up being a sentimental
choice for the Academy.
·
Snow
White and the Huntsman
o
Colleen
Atwood – 10th nomination, 3 wins.
Atwood
has previous won for Chicago, Memoirs of a Geisha, and Alice
in Wonderland. Previously
nominated for Little Women, Beloved, Sleepy Hollow, Lemony
Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, Sweeny Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and Nine.
Atwood
is by far the most seasoned and versatile designer in the field. She is also nominated for the BAFTA Award and
Satellite Award.
**********
Oscar
Trends:
The best
indicator of this award falls to the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards
(Now called the Critics’ Choice Award). Since
they began giving this award, they are 4 for 4 predicting the outcome of the
Oscar, giving Anna Karenina the clear edge.
**********
Prediction:
1. Anna Karenina
2. Les Miserables
3. Mirror Mirror
4. Lincoln
5. Snow White and the Huntsman
