OSCAR HISTORY

Best Costume Design

The Costume Designer is the other artist along with the cinematographer and the art director who complete a triangle of artists whose work ends up creating the whole look of a film. They choose the wardrobe for what will set an actor in the right mood for a scene, conjuring up old costumes from the past for a period film, or imagining outfits that someone in the 23rd century might wear. These were the achievements in costume designing that the Academy thought fit pretty good.
