Black Panther, one of the best Marvel movies, was more than deserving of its Oscar for Best Costume Design at the 2019 Oscars. While T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman) and Killmonger (Michael B. Jordan) did hold their own, the real MVP was the River Tribe Elder (Isaach de Bankolé) after he showed up to the first ceremonial fight looking so dang cool. In an all-new episode of the ‘Women of Marvel’ podcast, we cover Shuri’s inspirational Marvel history. Ruth Carter is only the first Black Costume Designer to win an Oscar since the Academy Awards began. The costuming reflects all of this, from the full battle armor worn by all of our heroes and their enemies, to the diaphanous gowns worn by the Elf queens, Arwyn and Galadriel, to the formal best worn by everyone honoring the king’s coronation.
Black Panther (
The 21st Academy Awards, held on March 24, 1949 at the Academy Theater in Hollywood, was a scandalous year for the Oscars long before the ceremony was held. Almost every major studio head had pulled their contributed funding for the Academy Awards. Supposedly this was in response to rumors that studios had been pressuring Academy voters to choose their pet projects as the winners, underhanded attempts which were very likely to have been something akin to an insider industry standard. Celebrating the films released in 1948, this was the first time that an award was given for costuming.

Oscars Best Costume Design 2024 Nominees: ‘Barbie,’ ‘Poor Things’ & More Looks
The 2020 Netflix original film, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom took home two Academy Awards, including Best Costume Design, which isn’t surprising considering the great outfits featured throughout George C. Wolfe’s drama. The lacey outfit worn by Viola Davis’ titular character in the recording studio is the stuff of wonder. The 1963 surrealist dramedy about a famous director experiencing a creative block and a fantastical journey is full of great costumes, but the suit worn by Marcello Mastroianni’s Guido Anselmi throughout the movie is just killer.

The movie also features some great costumes, like the one worn by Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan) while attending one of Jay Gatsby’s (Leonardo DiCaprio) parties. Jacqueline West and Robert Morgan for “Dune”Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi blockbuster features over 2,000 custom looks. In an interview with Variety, West noted that they used monochromatic palettes to distinguish each subworld, looking to natural and imagined environments for color cues. "Thank you to the academy, thank you to my fellow nominees," Waddington began. "It's an amazing privilege to be in the same room as you all. You're the people who inspired me to be a costume designer in the first place." That was true of the show, which reunited generations of acting winners onstage and included a mix of comedic moments (like a naked John Cena onstage) and unscripted ones (Emma Stone’s dress breaking before her best actress win).

Before winning in 2019 for Black Panther, she was previously nominated in 1992 for Spike Lee’s Malcolm X and Steven Spielberg’s Amistad in 1997. This is barely scratching the surface of the great outfits from movies that have won the Oscar for Best Costume Design over the years, but they are some of the coolest we could find. Arguably the biggest challenge for Costume Design in this epic saga is that there is almost too much story to tell. There is the richly detailed backstory of both the universe of each character and of each realm. There is also the story at hand from the perspective of each participant in it.
But while they’re lovely, I don’t see much innovation in the costumes for this follow-up to Shekhar Kapur’s 1998 Elizabeth. Murphy accepted the Oscar from a group of previous best actor winners, including Nicolas Cage, Matthew McConaughey, Brendan Fraser, Ben Kingsley and Forest Whitaker. Other nominees in the best director category at the 2024 Oscars included Justine Triet for "Anatomy of a Fall," Martin Scorsese for "Killers of the Flower Moon," Yorgos Lanthimos for "Poor Things" and Jonathan Glazer for "The Zone of Interest." This awards season, Nolan has won a Golden Globe for best director and BAFTAs for best director and best film. Before the Oscar was announced, each best actress nominee was honored by previous best actress winners including Michelle Yeoh, Sally Field, Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Lange.

With this second win, she now makes history as the first Black woman to be a two-time winner in any category. Additionally, she has the honor of being the first person to win a costume design Oscar for both an original film and a sequel. From 1949 to 1966, most Academy Awards for Best Costume Design in Black and White were given to a contemporary movie. Right away, the audience is brought into a fantastical world and perhaps the greatest party on Earth.
Best Costume Design Academy Award Winners
Up next, we run through the Best Hair and Makeup winners and rank our favorites. It’s a skill all of its own to choose fabrics and silhouettes that come through on Black and White film, and Costumer Mark Bridges has this in spades. Bridges perfectly understands this and lets the clothes do all the talking. The costumes brilliantly reflect that these people live in the real world, but occasionally exposit details through song and dance. Milena Canonero’s costumes for The Grand Budapest Hotel are an intricate part of Director Wes Anderson’s overall design concept.

"Thank you, Yorgos [Lanthimos], for that and for making such bold and brave work." "The other night, I was panicking -- as you can see, happens a lot -- that maybe something like this could happen," she continued. The following 93 designers have received multiple nominations for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design. This list is sorted by the number of total awards (with the number of total nominations listed in parentheses). Filmmaker Neil Jordan presented Irish actor Stephen Rea with the Irish Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding contribution to the Irish and international screen industry, across both film and television.
During the acceptance speech for "An Irish Goodbye," which won for best live action short film, one of the film's stars received an unexpected surprise. During his acceptance speech, Nolan thanked Universal Studios and the authors of the biography on which the movie is based, "American Prometheus," by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin. From the red carpet to the show, the Academy Awards are the biggest awards show of all and the premier gathering of filmmakers from around the globe.
Siobhán Cullen was the winner of this year’s Screen Ireland IFTA Rising Star Award. Ariana DeBose, who is the frontrunner for best supporting actress, may be helping Paul Tazewell, the first Black man ever to be nominated in this category. Signature outfits go far in this category and who can forget DeBose’s stunning yellow dress. Not to mention, Alexander Skarsgård’s berserker costume, countless viking costumes, the valkyrie look, and of course Queen Gudrún (Nicole Kidman). She also makes Oscar history by becoming the first Black woman to win twice in any Oscars category.
After an awards season in which the wars in Ukraine and Gaza were rarely mentioned, this year’s Oscars carpet included several reminders of the conflict. Some attendees donned pins or displayed other statements calling for a cease-fire in Gaza as demonstrations disrupted traffic outside. The documentary feature winner, “20 Days in Mariupol,” offered a grim reminder of that war’s toll on the country and its civilians. Costume designer Quita Alfred gave a masterclass in research when it came to Sarah Polley’s film, Women Talking. When it came to designing the costumes for the characters in the film, Alfred went straight to the source and learned from actual Mennonite communities to learn about and source fabrics.
According to Vanity Fair, her white shirt included an image of “a figure, a dove, and the words ‘Naked without us’ … painted on by hand.” The slogan refers to the Costume Designers Guild campaign for pay equity for costume designers. I am excited to share with you the coveted list of this year’s Oscar nominations for Best Costume Design of 2023. I am excited to share with you the coveted list of this year’s Oscar nominations for Best Costume Design of 2024. Academy-Award winner Catherine Martin does not miss when it comes to brilliant costume design and Elvis was no exception. As Elvis performs through the years, the audience falls more and more in love.
In this final installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Oscar-winning work of Ngila Dickson and Richard Taylor is impossible to take as commonplace. Here we see our heroes in the midst of “the battle for Middle Earth,” while also getting a long look at each of the worlds, bursting with history, of both the Elves and the Rohirrim. The Best Costume Design Oscar nominees are chosen by other Costume Designer and Art Director members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. With so many period drama winners, it can be difficult to understand what the actual criteria are for choosing a Best Costume Design nominee. The actor has been the darling of the awards season as the comeback story of the year, moving many to tears with each of his wins. In his acceptance speech after winning best supporting actor, Ke Huy Quan once again delivered an earnest and emotional speech, which spoke to never giving up on your dreams.
