Set for an in-person ceremony this year — after last year’s virtual presentation — the Costume Designers Guild Awards announced its nominations Wednesday. The 24th annual awards honor excellence in film, television and short form costume design.
In the film categories — which recognize sci-fi/fantasy, contemporary and period projects — the nominees include Dune, The Green Knight, The Matrix Resurrections, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: No Way Home, The Suicide Squad, Coming 2 America, Don’t Look Up, In the Heights, No Time to Die, Zola, Cruella, Cyrano, House of Gucci, Nightmare Alley and West Side Story.
Scripted series receiving nominations in the categories of sci-fi/fantasy, contemporary and period television include The Book of Boba Fett, The Handmaid’s Tale, Loki, What We Do in the Shadows, The Witcher, Emily in Paris, Euphoria, Hacks, Mare of Easttown, Squid Game, The Great, Halston, The Underground Railroad and WandaVision. What We Do in the Shadows received a double nomination, for its episode “Gail” in the category of sci-fi/fantasy and for its episode “The Wellness Centre” for period television.
The awards, which will announce a host, presenters and nominees in coming weeks, will be held for the first time at the Broad Stage in Santa Monica on Wednesday, March 9, and are produced by NVE Experience Agency and sponsored by Westfield Century City.
“Throughout the pandemic, we’ve been reminded how important costume design is, not only to entertain — but to inspire,” said Salvador Perez, president of the Costume Designers Guild, in a statement. “We are thrilled to celebrate in person this year, with safety as our priority. We want to recognize our nominees and all of their phenomenal work as we take the CDGA into a new direction.”
Last year’s CDGA winners were Bina Daigeler (Mulan), Nancy Steiner (Promising Young Woman), Ann Roth (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom), Paul Tazewell (Hamilton), Gabriele Binder (The Queen’s Gambit), Debra Hanson (Schitt’s Creek), Shay Cunliffe (Westworld) and April Napier (The Stunt Double). Roth went on to win an Academy Award for Ma Rainey’s, while Binder won an Emmy in the period category for Queen’s Gambit.
