Oscar frontrunners “Wicked” (Paul Tazewell), “Nosferatu” (Linda Muir), and “Conclave” (Lisy Christl) were all winners at the 27th Costume Designer Guild Awards (CDGA), held February 6 at The Ebell of Los Angeles. “Nobody Wants This” star Jackie Tohn served as host.
The film winners prevailed in the categories of sci-fi/fantasy, period, and contemporary, respectively. Costume designer Tazewell is currently the favorite to win the Oscar for “Wicked,” Jon M. Chu’s populist Oz musical. He created a connection to nature through mushroom motifs in the wardrobes for Elphaba (Oscar-nominated Cynthia Erivo), and a floating sensibility with effervescent pink bubble motifs in the wardrobes for Galinda (Oscar-nominated Ariana Grande).
In TV, the winners were “Dune: Prophecy” (Bojana Nikitovi) for sci-fi/fantasy, “Shōgun” (Carlos Rosario) for period, and “Hacks” (Kathleen Felix-Hager) for contemporary.
In addition, three-time Oscar winner Jenny Beavan (“Cruella,” “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “A Room with a View”) won the Career Achievement Award, Oscar-nominated Zoe Saldaña (“Emilia Pérez”) was given the Spotlight Award, singer-actress Janelle Monáe (“Hidden Figures”) accepted the Vanguard Spotlight Award, and former guild president Salvador Perez (the Emmy-nominated “Hocus Pocus 2”) earned the Distinguished Service Award.
