Courtney Hoffman CAPTAIN FANTASTIC |
Marion Boyce & Margot Wilson THE DRESSMAKER |
Mary Zophres HAIL CAESAR |
Madeline Fontaine JACKIE |
Mary Zophres LA LA LAND |
Practical wear, color shamelessness, and magpie like accessories and handmade details -- so ultra specific and perfect | The costumes are the story and Wilson (Kate) and Boyce (everyone else) are both having a ball with the extravagant comedy and glamour |
Old Hollywood fun, flash, and glamour with twisty verve for the Coen brothers intelligent comedy. Bonus point: Tilda's hats |
Recreation of classic iconic looks, 60s politicos, and gilded cage glamour. Sets off the all black funereal parade so beautifully. |
Sure to be iconic in its jewel tone rainbow simplicity. That yellow dress! Bonus points: Sebastian's perfect retro spats. |
Finalists: Jo Sang-gyeong so many gorgeous gowns in The Handmaiden, Consolata Boyle for the padded too-much fussiness of Florence Foster Jenkins showpieces and 40s style, Dante Ferretti slim black priest looks, poor villagers, and those grass camouflage details in Silence. Plus all the decay of pieces that have been worn and unlaundered for months Semi-Finalists: Joanna Johnston for Allied, Guilia Persanti for A Bigger Splash, Erin Benach The Light Between Oceans, Renee Ehrlick Kalfus for Hidden Figures |

Ryu Seong-hie THE HANDMAIDEN |
Mark Tildesley HIGH RISE |
Jean Rabasse JACKIE |
Inspired by the artist Turrell, the bold minimalism of circles and white lights is both intimidating and serene, a hypnotic combination |
Overdecorated walls are just as "much" as flouncy Florence. But each apartment we see reflects its owner. Bonus points: bathtub full of potato salad |
Those vast but private grounds, the perfect dungeon/library, and the sensual luxurious of the mansion and bedrooms |
"Brutal Architecturalism"... all those heavy angles, triangles, sterile colors, and socieconomic markers. Later, chaos reigns but it was never inviting to begin with |
The vast sterile spaces of the White House magically feel as claustrophic as the cramped interiors of Air Force One. Perfect color choices throughout |

ARRIVAL | CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR | DOCTOR STRANGE | THE JUNGLE BOOK | KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS |
The awestruck minimalism of heptapods and hovering spacecraft | The chaotic maximalism of heroes vs heroes. Bonus points: Ant-Man vs Spider-Man. |
A touch too Inception but through an even trippier kaleidoscope lens - and that backwards/forwards fight! |
Technology just gets more and more impressive with CG animals, doesn't it? |
For the breahtaking water and the eye popping origami especially |
Finalists: Passengers Semi Finalists: Rogue One, Warcraft, and A Monster Calls |

HAIL CAESAR! |
JACKIE |
THE NEON DEMON |
SING STREET | STAR TREK BEYOND |
The makeup team had their work cut out for them with dozens of characters, Old Hollywood glamour, and comic touches |
Iconic 60s looks recreated. So many wigs. But Portman is ravishing throughout. |
From the severe models as zombies editorializing to the glitter and paint orgies, and fake blood as fashion statement |
The makeup team charts the shifting identity games of these teenagers, aping their heroes with diy looks | Aliens and aliens and aliens... but especially for the memorable Jaylah, striped and fierce. |
Finalists: The Handmaiden, The Dressmaker, and Florence Foster Jenkins Semi Finalists: Deadpool, Silence, La La Land, and A Bigger Splash |
