The costume designers responsible for the eye-catching outfits worn by Jennifer Lopez in “Hustlers,” Taron Egerton in “Rocketman” and Eddie Murphy in “Dolemite Is My Name” have been nominated for the 22nd annual Costume Designers Guild Awards, the CDG announced on Tuesday.

The “Hustlers” costumes will be competing against “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” “Knives Out,” “The Laundromat” and “Queen and Slim” in the CDG’s contemporary film category, while “Dolemite” and “Rocketman” will go up against “Downton Abbey,” “Jojo Rabbit” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” in the period film category.

In the sci-fi/fantasy category, the nominees are “Aladdin,” “Avengers: Endgame,” “Captain Marvel,” “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”

Nominees include Ruth E. Carter, the reigning Oscar champ for “Black Panther,” who is up for “Dolemite,” and Ellen Mirojnick, a double film nominee for both “The Laundromat” and “Maleficent.”

In the television categories, nominees included “Fleabag,” “Schitt’s Creek,” “The Crown,” “GLOW,” “Game of Thrones,” “Watchmen” and “The Masked Singer.”

In recent years, the Costume Designers Guild has typically nominated three or four of the films that have gone on to receive Oscar nominations for Best Costume Design. Those nominees almost always come from the period and fantasy categories.

Last year, four of the five Oscar nominees were first nominated by the CDG, three from the period category and one, “Black Panther,” from the sci-fi/fantasy category.

The awards will be handed out on Jan. 28, 2020, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in a show hosted by Mindy Kaling. Also at that ceremony, honorary awards will go to Charlize Theron (Spotlight Award), Adam McKay (Distinguished Collaborator Award), Mary Ellen Fields (Distinguished Service Award) and Michael Kaplan (Career Achievement Award).
