The costume design branch can sometimes pick surprising films even if the reviews or box office isn't there, but like you I'm not sure that this one will be unique enough without those other factors. Especially since Atwood has been back so many times already. If there is a newbie that is close, then I think they could steal it away from her.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-77196249897554334972012-04-01T15:41:59.728-07:002012-04-01T15:41:59.728-07:00Nice predictions!

I think Atwood has better chances for Dark Shadows too, since there are so many different posibilites there, from Middle ages to the 70's of previous century. I think a lot depends on how the movie will be recieved, though.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-20965961743538695232012-03-27T18:26:27.044-07:002012-03-27T18:26:27.044-07:00If it were her only project I would probably have ...If it were her only project I would probably have it higher. But she Dark Shadows coming out this year as well, and I think more academy members will be drawn to that. It is of course possible that they could both make it, but I placed Huntsman a little lower thinking that a double nomination was unlikely.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-65068257550527702392012-03-27T07:29:05.311-07:002012-03-27T07:29:05.311-07:00Snow White and the Huntsman should be higher.

While I'm not certain of it, my sense is that many of the folks who vote for the nomination often get to see many of the actual costumes and/or drawings in person. If that's true, I think it can make a big difference, at least at the nomination phase.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-87678347871428329992012-03-24T13:32:57.139-07:002012-03-24T13:32:57.139-07:00I'm glad you included a picture for the upcomi...I'm glad you included a picture for the upcoming Great Gatsby. The moment I had seen pictures released for that film, I was immediately drawn to the costumes. I could definitely see them doing some good at the awards for 2012, but I guess we'll have to wait and see. I can imagine there will be a few contenders in this category, perhaps even from Mirror Mirror (reminded me of Anonymous being nominated this past year). <br /><br />Then again, I was thrilled for The Artist to pick up the award for Best Costume at the Oscars in 2011 because it shows that it doesn't matter if the film is in black and white. The emphasis doesn't have to be on bold, bright colors, but that more elements are important such as layering and time period.<br /><br />You have some great predictions up. I look forward to seeing how they play out.Kristinhttp://alleyesonscreen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-6403052952283568382012-03-23T15:13:15.547-07:002012-03-23T15:13:15.547-07:00Lincoln is a real possibility.

My hesitation is that Joanna Johnston has done costumes for several Spielberg films, including Saving Private Ryan, War Horse and Munich, but never been nominated. My sense is that she does a great job of trying to make the costumes look accurate to the times, while the Academy usually tends to reward things that are more flashy.NeverTooEarlyMPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971628452385566511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1361012654645694959.post-83324687709512530862012-03-23T15:05:00.835-07:002012-03-23T15:05:00.835-07:00My thinking is that Mirror Mirror might be a bit m...My thinking is that Mirror Mirror might be a bit more Academy friendly than his other films, since it is a comedic fairy tale with Julia Roberts. <br /><br />I thought the costumes looked really interesting in the previews and stills I've seen.
