Like Sandra Bullock at the Met Gala, the Ocean’s 8 coats have infiltrated their way into awards season. The heist movie’s costumes, designed by Sarah Edwards, are among the nominees for Excellence in Contemporary Film at the Costume Designer’s Guild Awards. Other delightful nods to movies that might not have made an appearance in awards season otherwise include the costumes in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (we assume designing things for Cher to wear helps), which also got a Contemporary Film nod, and the appearance of A Wrinkle in Time, Aquaman, and The Nutcracker and the Four Realms for sci-fi/fantasy design. Finally, Keira Knightley’s Sugar Plum is getting the respect she deserves around here. Oddly, however, the lush designs in If Beale Street Could Talk didn’t make the cut. The Costume Designers Guild Awards will take place on February 19 at the Beverly Hilton, and this year they will also present a special award to Ryan Murphy. Read the full list of nominations below:
