Best Costume Design: 1948 to the present

Jul 05, 2010 21:02




A look back on the Academy Award winners for Best Costume Design!

This award wasn't introduced until 1948 (in case you're wondering, "Where is *insert gorgeously costumed film from before 1948 here*?")  and it initially was given to two winners - a black-and-white film, and a color film. The Academy combined the award in the 1950s, reverted to the original format soon after, and finally combined the award for the last time in the late 1960s.

It would've been crazy to post pictures for every film for such a long list, but I've put together a small sampling of photos that I hope will be enjoyable. Not dial-up friendly!
