If there is one industry union that has taste, style, and, yes, a sense of humor, it’s the Costume Designers Guild. For example, with this year’s 2021 Costume Design Guild Awards they nominated such worth films as “Promising Young Woman,” “Birds of Prey,” “Emma” and “Judas and the Black Messiah.” Oh, and how could we forget, the indomitable “Barb and Star go to Vista Del Mar.”

The CDG breaks out film nominees into three categories and television into four which allows them to honor a swath of deserving nominees. On the television side, programs such as “I May Destroy You,” “The Queen’s Gambit,” “Emily in Paris,” “The Mandalorian” and “The Masked Singer” were all recognized. Short Form nominees lauded music videos from The Weeknd and Selena Gomez, among others.
Surprising snubs on the film side included “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “News of the World,” “The United States vs. Billie Holliday” and “Personal History of David Copperfield.” As for television snubs, some might say the exclusion of “The Flight Attendant” was criminal and “The Undoing”? Clearly, the CDG was not as impressed with Nicole Kidman’s scarves as viewers were.
The 23rd Costumers Guild will be announced on Tuesday, April 13 during a ceremony the public will be able to enjoy on Twitter.
