“Barbie,” “Poor Things” and “Saltburn” have won the feature-film awards from the Costume Designers Guild, which gave out its 26th annual CDG Awards on Wednesday evening in Los Angeles.
“Barbie” won in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film category, “Poor Things” in the Period Film category and “Saltburn” in the Contemporary Film category. The CDGA’s sci-fi and period categories almost invariably produce the Oscar winners in the Best Costume Design category.
“Barbie” and “Poor Things” are considered this year’s frontrunners for the costume-design Oscar, where they are nominated along with “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Napoleon” and “Oppenheimer.”
In the television categories, winners included “Ahsoka,” “Beef,” “The Great,” “Rebel Moon” and “A Black Lady Sketch Show.”
The show took place at NeueHouse in Hollywood and was hosted by Wendi McLendon-Covey. Honorary awards went to Annette Bening (Spotlight Award), Billie Eilish (Vanguard Spotlight Award) and costume designer Francine Jamison-Tanchuck (Career Achievement Award).
