12 Days of Oscar: Day 7 - Clothes and Hair

It takes literally hundreds of people to make a successful film, even if the only things you notice are one or two actors.  The costumer and stylist make us believe that the actor is in a certain time period, a certain socioeconomic class or perhaps even a different species.  

COSTUME DESIGN NOMINEES

"Anna Karenina" - Jaqueline Durran

"Les Miserables" - Paco Delgado

"Lincoln" - Joanna Johnston

"Mirror Mirror" - Eiko Ishioka

"Snow White and the Huntsman" - Colleen Atwood

Each film is exquisitely and intricately adorned.  However, the sheer smorgasbord of delicacies that were draped upon Ms. Knightly were a costuming dream.

My Favorite -"Anna Karenina"

My Oscar Prdiction - "Anna Karenina"



MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING NOMINEES

"Hitchcock" - Howard Berger, Peter Montagna and Martin Samuel

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" - Peter Swords King, Rick Findlater and Tami Lane

"Les Miserables" - Lisa Westscott and Julie Darnell

This is one of those categories that if they were separate, my vote would be different.  Hitchcock was a marvel of makeup for Anthony Hopkins, Les Miserables was a wonder of hairstyles and lean sick faces.  However, its hard for me to choose against Hobbits and Dwarves in the make up department.

My Favorite - "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"

My Oscar Prediction - "Les Miserables"
