Ma Rainey's Black Bottom Sews Up Costume Designers Guild Awards

Another day in April means another virtual awards show keeping zoom cameras busy. Monday evening was left for the Costume Designer Guild who, as expected, brought the looks for their ceremony even if it was in their own living rooms. The big news, however, was Oscar frontrunner Ann Roth duplicating her BAFTA Award win with a CDG Awards win in Period Costume for “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.”
