Costume Designers Guild announces 2015 nominees, honorees
Organizers of the Costume Designers Guild Awards have announced the nominees in seven costume design categories and three additional honorees to be recognized at the group’s 17th awards show gala on Feb. 17.
The list includes several costume designers who took home CDG trophies at last year’s gala including Trish Summerville, nominated in the contemporary film category for her work on “Gone Girl” (in 2014 she won in the fantasy film category for “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”); Ellen Mirojnick in the period/fantasy TV series category for her efforts on “The Knick” (she took home an award last year in the TV movie or miniseries category for “Behind the Candelabra”); and Tom Broecker, who is nominated, along with Eric Justian, for “Saturday Night Live.” Broecker won last year for his efforts on “House of Cards.”
The CDG has also announced that director and screenwriter Richard Linklater will be honored with this year’s distinguished collaborator award, costume designer Aggie Guerard Rodgers is set to receive an honorary career achievement award and the 2015 Edith Head award for the advancement of the art of costume design will be bestowed upon Deborah Nadoolman Landis.
