The Costume Designers Guild has unwrapped the nominees for its 25th anniversary CDG Awards next month. See the full list below.
Celebrating excellence in film, television, and short form costume design, the 2023 CDGA ceremony is set for Monday, February 27, at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
Vying for the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film prize are the designers behind Avatar: The Way of Water, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Hocus Pocus 2 and Thor: Love and Thunder. Up for Contemporary Film are Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Nope, Tár, Top Gun: Maverick, Women Talking. And the Period Film race will be among Babylon, Don’t Worry Darling, Elvis, Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris and The Woman King.
“I’m honored to congratulate our CDGA nominees,” said Terry Gordon, President of the Costume Designers Guild, IATSE Local 892. “This year is particularly exciting as it’s the 25th anniversary of our awards gala. We look forward to celebrating the extraordinary work of our nominees with all of our talented costume designers.”
Dune, Cruella and Coming 2 America went home with the film prizes at last year’s CDGA, and Disney’s Cruella — which is set in Swinging ’60s London — went on to win the Oscar. Since the CDGAs launched in 1999, the Academy Award for Costume Design has gone to a period film every year but twice, with only Mad Max: Fury Road (2016), Black Panther (2019) bucking the trend.
