Tonight, the Costume Designers Guild will announce the winners of its three feature film prizes for Period, Fantasy and Contemporary achievements. So, here’s what we expect

Costume Designers Guild

Period Costume Design

The Fighter
The King’s Speech (Wesley, Peter)
True Grit (RU:Wesley)

Wesley Lovell: I can’t imagine them not giving it to The King’s Speech. If Fighter wins, we may be witnessing the collapse of King’s Speech as a Best Picture contender. But, if there’s a film that could upset Speech without diminishing it’s Best Picture potential, it’s True Grit which has enough interesting costume work to possibly pose a threat.

Fantasy Costume Design

Alice in Wonderland (Wesley, Peter)
The Tempest (RU:Wesley)
TRON Legacy

Wesley Lovell: Just the abundance of fancy frocks gives Alice in Wonderland the edge. TRON Legacy has no chance with its limited set of costumes, but The Tempest could do quite well. It has an array of amazing costumes and could appeal to the more traditional among Costume Design voters.

Contemporary Costume Design

Black Swan (RU:Wesley)
Burlesque (Wesley)
Inception
The Social Network (Peter)
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Wesley Lovell: This is a close one. I could see all but Wall Street 2 winning this. But, since Burlesque has the most differing costumes to it, I guess they’ll probably edge that direction, though I think Black Swan is a strong contender as well.
