26th Costume Designers Guild Awards Nominations Revealed

The nominations for the 26th Costume Designers Guild Awards have been revealed by the Costume Designers Guild. This award can often be a major precursor to the eventual winner of Best Costume Design at the Academy Awards. Last year, Ruth E. Carter scored a nomination but not a win for Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever before her eventual Oscar win.

“I am delighted to extend my sincere congratulations to all the nominees for this year’s CDGA. It is with immense pride that this year our union will be including and celebrating all CDG classifications, including costume designers, assistant costume designers, and costume illustrators. Your remarkable contributions have elevated the art of costume design, and we look forward to honoring and recognizing your outstanding work during this special event. Best wishes to each nominee,” said Terry Gordon, President of the Costume Designers Guild, IATSE Local 892.
