The Costume Designers Guild has often nominated three to four films that have received Oscar nominations for Best Costume Design in recent years. Almost all of those nominees come from the fantasy and period category. All five Oscar nominees have been recognized by CDG for the past two years. Last year, four of them were from the period and one was from the fantasy category.
Nominees in the television categories include “House of the Dragon,” “The Rings of Power,” “Emily in Paris,” “Wednesday,” “The Gilded Age,” “Pam & Tommy,” “Beauty and the Beast: A 30th Celebration” and “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls.”
