"Thank you, Yorgos [Lanthimos], for that and for making such bold and brave work."

This list is sorted by the number of total awards (with the number of total nominations listed in parentheses).

Black Panther, one of the best Marvel movies, was more than deserving of its Oscar for Best Costume Design at the 2019 Oscars. While T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) did hold their own, the real MVP was the River Tribe Elder (Isaach de Bankolé) after he showed up to the first ceremonial fight looking so dang cool. In an all-new episode of the ‘Women of Marvel’ podcast, we cover Shuri’s inspirational Marvel history. Ruth Carter is only the first Black Costume Designer to win an Oscar since the Academy Awards began. The costuming reflects all of this, from the full battle armor worn by all of our heroes and their enemies, to the diaphanous gowns worn by the Elf queens, Arwyn and Galadriel, to the formal best worn by everyone honoring the king’s coronation.

Life

Siobhán Cullen was the winner of this year’s Screen Ireland IFTA Rising Star Award. Ariana DeBose, who is the frontrunner for best supporting actress, may be helping Paul Tazewell, the first Black man ever to be nominated in this category. Signature outfits go far in this category and who can forget DeBose’s stunning yellow dress. Not to mention, Alexander Skarsgård’s berserker costume, countless viking costumes, the valkyrie look, and of course Queen Gudrún (Nicole Kidman). She also makes Oscar history by becoming the first Black woman to win twice in any Oscars category.

Black Panther (

The 2020 Netflix original film, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom took home two Academy Awards, including Best Costume Design, which isn’t surprising considering the great outfits featured throughout George C. Wolfe’s drama. The lacey outfit worn by Viola Davis’ titular character in the recording studio is the stuff of wonder. The 1963 surrealist dramedy about a famous director experiencing a creative block and a fantastical journey is full of great costumes, but the suit worn by Marcello Mastroianni’s Guido Anselmi throughout the movie is just killer.

But while they’re lovely, I don’t see much innovation in the costumes for this follow-up to Shekhar Kapur’s 1998 Elizabeth. Murphy accepted the Oscar from a group of previous best actor winners, including Nicolas Cage, Matthew McConaughey, Brendan Fraser, Ben Kingsley and Forest Whitaker. Other nominees in the best director category at the 2024 Oscars included Justine Triet for "Anatomy of a Fall," Martin Scorsese for "Killers of the Flower Moon," Yorgos Lanthimos for "Poor Things" and Jonathan Glazer for "The Zone of Interest." This awards season, Nolan has won a Golden Globe for best director and BAFTAs for best director and best film. Before the Oscar was announced, each best actress nominee was honored by previous best actress winners including Michelle Yeoh, Sally Field, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Lange.

In this final installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Oscar-winning work of Ngila Dickson and Richard Taylor is impossible to take as commonplace. Here we see our heroes in the midst of “the battle for Middle Earth,” while also getting a long look at each of the worlds, bursting with history, of both the Elves and the Rohirrim. The Best Costume Design Oscar nominees are chosen by other Costume Designer and Art Director members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. With so many period drama winners, it can be difficult to understand what the actual criteria are for choosing a Best Costume Design nominee. The actor has been the darling of the awards season as the comeback story of the year, moving many to tears with each of his wins. In his acceptance speech after winning best supporting actor, Ke Huy Quan once again delivered an earnest and emotional speech, which spoke to never giving up on your dreams.

Writer/Director Sofia Coppola really wanted to humanize the larger than life figure who came to be known as Marie Antoinette (Kirsten Dunst). Who is best known for her utter disregard for the regular French folks as they starved and suffered and launched the French Revolution. To that end, Best Costume Design winner Milena Canonero uses colors that pop — pastels and frills emphasizing the queen’s youth and naïveté and youthful indiscretion. The eponymous Anna (Keira Knightly again) is happily married to the much older Alexei Karenin (Jude Law).

Oscar Winning Costumes

During the acceptance speech for "An Irish Goodbye," which won for best live action short film, one of the film's stars received an unexpected surprise. During his acceptance speech, Nolan thanked Universal Studios and the authors of the biography on which the movie is based, "American Prometheus," by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. From the red carpet to the show, the Academy Awards are the biggest awards show of all and the premier gathering of filmmakers from around the globe.

He revealed on “The Howard Stern Show” a few weeks before the Oscars that an agency advised him not to appear in “Barbie” in a cameo. Set a reminder for Tuesday, Jan. 24, 2023, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce this year’s Academy Award nominations.

Before winning in 2019 for Black Panther, she was previously nominated in 1992 for Spike Lee’s Malcolm X and Steven Spielberg’s Amistad in 1997. This is barely scratching the surface of the great outfits from movies that have won the Oscar for Best Costume Design over the years, but they are some of the coolest we could find. Arguably the biggest challenge for Costume Design in this epic saga is that there is almost too much story to tell. There is the richly detailed backstory of both the universe of each character and of each realm. There is also the story at hand from the perspective of each participant in it.

But as this is also pure fantasy, Atwood draws on a variety of eras, with their signature silhouettes and fabrics, to make us believe that this topsy turvy world could actually exist if we were to allow ourselves to fall down the rabbit hole. We only need to see the human-sized playing card army to know why she was awarded her fourth Oscar on our list for Best Costumes. It takes place in a universe where two distinct worlds co-exist, side by side, without ever really colliding. One a flashy, period drama; the other a world of both fantasies and nightmares.

After an awards season in which the wars in Ukraine and Gaza were rarely mentioned, this year’s Oscars carpet included several reminders of the conflict. Some attendees donned pins or displayed other statements calling for a cease-fire in Gaza as demonstrations disrupted traffic outside. The documentary feature winner, “20 Days in Mariupol,” offered a grim reminder of that war’s toll on the country and its civilians. Costume designer Quita Alfred gave a masterclass in research when it came to Sarah Polley’s film, Women Talking. When it came to designing the costumes for the characters in the film, Alfred went straight to the source and learned from actual Mennonite communities to learn about and source fabrics.

The 21st Academy Awards, held on March 24, 1949 at the Academy Theater in Hollywood, was a scandalous year for the Oscars long before the ceremony was held. Almost every major studio head had pulled their contributed funding for the Academy Awards. Supposedly this was in response to rumors that studios had been pressuring Academy voters to choose their pet projects as the winners, underhanded attempts which were very likely to have been something akin to an insider industry standard. Celebrating the films released in 1948, this was the first time that an award was given for costuming.
