There are six films that scored costume design nominations at both the Critics Choice Awards and with the Costume Designers Guild; Wicked, Dune: Part Two, Gladiator II, Maria, Nosferatu, and Conclave. That likely suggests this is where the final five Oscar nominees will come from. That being said, I wouldn’t count out four-time winner, 12-time nominee Colleen Atwood (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice), nor a nomination for a Best Picture contender like The Brutalist or Emilia Pérez. It was wild to see a two-time Oscar winner like Jacqueline Durran (Blitz) miss with the CDG. I really think that signals how D.O.A. that film’s campaign is.
The critics groups that award a prize for costuming are favouring Wicked at present and it’s starting to become the runaway frontrunner here. It faces stiff competition from Dune: Part Two, especially given its predecessor lost this category to Cruella in 2021. This would be Jacqueline West’s sixth nomination with zero wins thus far, so perhaps it might finally be her year.
