The Costume Designers Guild (CDC, IATSE Local 892) has announced the nominations for its 23rd Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards, which will take place at 5:30pm PST on April 13, livestreamed on the guild’s Twitter account.
Netflix received the most nominations with five, followed by Warner Bros. and Universal Pictures/Focus, both with three. Many of the films that have been in the awards conversation, particularly for below-the-line were accounted for although Paul Greengrass’ News of the World, Aaron Sorkin‘s The Trial of the Chicago 7 and Ammonite were noticeably absent.
There were a few oddballs in there like last year’s January flop Dolittle and the very recent Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar, although it’s interesting to see that Birds of Prey made it into the Contemporary Film category while the period film Wonder Woman 1984 was nominated in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy category. Since there are only five nominations in the Oscar Costume Design category, one has to presume that those five will come from the 15 CDGA nominees.
As far as the television nominations, it will be interesting to see if Netflix newcomer, Bridgerton, might take down its stalwart veteran, The Crown, and whether anything can take down Schitt’s Creeek in the Contemporary Television category.
