Sacha Baron Cohen in Bruno (Universal)
The Costume Designers Guild has announced its list of nominees in three categories.
Omissions are even more interesting than many of the included films. Left out were Bright Star, Broken Embraces, It's Complicated, Inglourious Basterds, Red Cliff, The White Ribbon, and A Single Man. The last film, a period drama set in 1960s Los Angeles, was directed by Tom Ford, who is himself a fashion designer.
Considering the inclusion of Crazy Heart and Precious, no one can accuse the CDG of being enamored of glitz and glamour. But The Hurt Locker is missing in action.
