84th Oscar Costume Design Updates (1/22/12)

Here are today’s rankings for the 84th Oscar Costume Design race, with previous ranking shown in parenthesis after each entry. I’m currently predicting that three best picture nominees will also receive costume nominations, which is unusual for this category. I’m currently thinking that Hugo wins because it has both period pieces and fantasy costumes during several of the flashback scenes. As in most categories, more is often equated with better when it comes to the win, which is why Shame is so far down this list despite the rather stylized contemporary costumes that are worn through most of the film.



1. Sandy Powell for Hugo (Predicted Winner) (previous rank 2)
2. Michael O’Connor for Jane Eyre (previous rank 1)
