The nominations for the 28th 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, Paul Tazewell scored a win here for Wicked before his eventual Oscar win.
“We are proud to congratulate this year’s CDGA nominees. You create characters that inspire audiences and shape the future. We look forward to celebrating you and your brilliant work on this incredible evening. Best wishes to each nominee,” said Terry Ann Gordon, president of the Costume Designers Guild, IATSE Local 892.
