Is it a sign of respect for beloved veteran costume and production designer Patricia Norris? Or is it a sign that the love for 12 Years a Slave extends beyond just (just!) Best Picture? Either way, 12 Years' win at the Costume Designers Guild probably doesn't suggest a similar win at the Oscars next weekend - they'll probably opt for flashier fare, like predicted winners The Great Gatsby or American Hustle. Elsewhere, Trish Summerville wins for Sarah Burton's designs for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, but my favourite of the CDG's picks is Suzy Benzinger for Blue Jasmine - an excellent choice. Interesting to note that all three of the victors here are women, whereas women are outnumbered 3-2 in the Best Costume Design Oscar category.
