Best Costume tend...No, you're absolutely right. Best Costume tends to go to historical dramas for the painfully obvious reason that the actors seem to be wearing costumes. As Powell specializes in British historical dramas, she may as well put up a sign: "If office is closed, please deposit Oscar in mail slot."<br /><br />As I read elsewhere, that was Sandy Powell's third statue-- and if she is going to show her gratitude that way, probably her last.Skot C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02055691495773588755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2911999693557477130.post-26795595506728792902010-03-08T12:10:38.012-08:002010-03-08T12:10:38.012-08:00By the way, I'm still shivering at the thought...By the way, I'm still shivering at the thought of Tarantino as Taylor Swift.

Good costuming augments story by providing clues to the character; except in historical drama where you have no idea WHAT the costumes mean. And that's exactly what always wins because people think if it contemporary it's not a costume, like the actors just showed up in that shirt. <br /><br />I know what you're thinking but hey, why NOT care?piker62https://www.blogger.com/profile/10976799832683250524noreply@blogger.com
