20th Costume Designers Guild Awards Winners

On February 20th winners were announced in the platinum anniversary gala hosted by Gina Rodriguez which celebrated special honorees Guillermo del Toro, Joanna Johnston, Maggie Schpak and Kerry Washington as well as the winners of the seven competitive award categories.

Additionally John Mollo was posthumously inducted into the Guild's Hall of Fame by Mark Hamill, who paid tribute to the iconic designer known for his work on the first two installments of the Star Wars films, among others.

Maggie Schpak, expert jeweler/metalworker, received the Distinguished Service Award from the CDG President, Salvador Perez. The award honors individuals whose specialties and talents contribute to the craft and art of Costume Design.

Guillermo del Toro was awarded the Distinguished Collaborator Award which honors individuals who demonstrate unwavering support of Costume Design and creative partnerships with Costume Designers. Actor Doug Jones and Oscar-nominated Costume Designer Luis Sequeira, both from del Toro’s 13-time Oscar-nominated film The Shape of Water, presented del Toro with the award.

Kerry Washington was presented with the Spotlight Award, which honors an actor whose talent and career personify an enduring commitment to excellence, including a special awareness of the role and importance of Costume Design. Eva Longoria, and Scandal Costume Designer, Lyn Paolo, made the special presentation to Washington.

Joanna Johnston was honored with the Career Achievement Award recognizing her extraordinary body of work and lasting impact on filmmaking. Producer, Kathleen Kennedy presented Johnston with her award, with a surprise appearance by Sally Field, who worked with Johnston on Forrest Gump and Lincoln.

To the surprise of many, favorite Oscar category winner did NOT got a guild honor and yes, this time I have to agree that Phantom Thread has spectacular costume designer work, while the other films in the Period Film category pale when comparison.  Strongly believe that even Murder on the Orient Express has better costume design than winner.  Sigh.  Imagine Academy voters will not behave the same as guild voters.

If one winner deserves costume design recognition for magnificent work in film's very different scenarios is Wonder Woman, congrats. 

Winners are in  *BLUE.  To check winners in all categories go official site here.

70th Festival de Cannes Award Winners

Suddenly, Cannes is over. Once Again. Feel kind of sad.  Very glad there are great movies in this year edition that hope to see sooner than later. Regret that jury didn't wanted to make history, didn't wanted to be remembered forever, didn't wanted to give for the very first time EVER the Palme d'Or to a two-time-winner director and make him the ONLY three-time winner. Sigh. Instead they opted for a Swedish film in English by a great Swedish director debut in not-his-mother-tongue film.  The good news is that film could be good as not many directors have succeed when they do films in other languages; so, good for him (!) and also, for us -the audience. Still, these days have been fun and now will have to adjust to calm, which is not what Ruben Östlund is having today and will have for a while -just check photo.  Then there is a record for Coppola as she's the first woman to ever win a screenwriting Oscar and the second woman to win in Cannes directing prize. But u...

2017 MUAHS Annual Awards Winners

Last night was a busy night in Hollywood as there were three awards ceremony to attend; but, perhaps one of the most colorful has to be from the Make-up and Hair guild that gave awards to some unexpected winners while snubbing my favorites (lol). Most interesting is the Make Up top award winner as went to a film with no Oscar nomination and great make-up in one of the "movies"; see, I believe there were 2 "movies" in Nocturnal Animals , one very unpleasant to watch and another very pleasant with absolutely great esthetics -the later has fantastic make-up. On the other hand, Best Period and/or Character Make-up went to a film with an Oscar nomination, Suicide Squad , a film with obvious fantastic make-up but this win could mean an Oscar win?  Don't know as guild has not many members that vote in the Academy, at least when we compare it against the largest actor, director or writers guild.  Then perhaps another MUAHS award winner, Star Trek Beyond , could have bet...

Today, October 11th the Academy published the list of films in competition for the 2017 Foreign Language film Oscar which honors films released in their respective countries during the 2016 period. There are quite a few changes. For starters there are 85 and not 86 submissions, then Afghanistan, Armenia and Tunisia are out; last, have to add Cambodia and Yemen.  Japan's entry seems to be the same but has a different name in English: Nagasaki: Memories of My Son by Yoji Yamada and Malaysia's English name is different to Redha. Most important is to highlight that this edition will be the 60th Anniversary of the Foreign Language Film Category as was introduced in 1956 for the 29th Academy Awards. To celebrate the anniversary the Academy created a site with all the category winners which is here and the most amazing collection with 60 videos with the acceptance speeches from the winners which is here .
