2013 Oscar Predictions: Best Costume Design

"Anna Karenina" Focus
Indiewire will provide regular updates of our predictions for the 85th Academy Awards through February 24th, when the winners are announced.

Here's our take on best costume design, which looks like the only award that is "Anna Karenina"'s to lose. But a posthumous win for Eiko Ishioka and her work on "Mirror Mirror" is possible, as is throwing a bone to "Les Miserables," which is unlikely to win too many other awards (save Anne Hathaway).

Nominees and predictions below. Check out all predictions in all the categories here, and this list of all the Oscar-nominated films available ON DEMAND right now.

The nominees:
"Anna Karenina" Jacqueline Durran
"Les Misérables" Paco Delgado
"Lincoln" Joanna Johnston
"Mirror Mirror" Eiko Ishioka
"Snow White and the Huntsman" Colleen Atwood


Will win: "Anna Karenina"
Could win: "Mirror Mirror" or "Les Miserables"
Should win: "Anna Karenina"

Check out all predictions in all the categories here.

    Anna Karenina, A Royal Affair, Snow White and the Huntsman, Django Unchained, and Lincoln are the best in the list...even though Anna is marvelous but the winner would be Snow White and who would contest to the clothes of the evil queen!

    Cloud Atlas deserves a nomination. It would be very unfair if it doesn't get it. Come on!

    the spanish movie 'Blancanieves' has stunning costumes as well - Paco Delgado which will be def nominated for LesMis - should also be complimented for this effort as well

    Danny Glicker designed on the road. His name's not Glocker. Also Kasia Walicka-Maimone not "Malmone" Those are the only two people on the list that I know personally, you may want to check your spelling on the others...

    Please listen to Roger Ebert and suggest Cloud Atlas for this award. Every major actor played 6 roles. Halle Berry played a white woman in the 1930s...A man... A reporter in the 70s and even a native.

    I'm surprised Hunger Games isn't mentioned. And I will agree with Ebert that Cloud Atlas will get a nomination.

    I'm surprised as well, I thought the costumes brought The Hunger Games to life when they were in The Capitol.

  • Kylene | Sun Dec 16 18:24:38 EST 2012

    yes, I'm surprised as well that the Hunger Games wasn't even mentioned in this category of all the categories.

  • Alex | Wed Oct 03 19:16:58 EDT 2012Reply

    The hobbit will definately win. What does this website have against The Hobbit getting any nominations, which no doubt it will deserve. It looks like this site is just putting the same five movies in slightly different orders for all the categories.

  • hedo | Wed Oct 10 17:01:09 EDT 2012

    I KNOW RIGHT!? I'm guessing these people haven't seen LOTR (sucks for them when December rolls around!)

  • HWK | Wed Oct 03 14:51:29 EDT 2012Reply

    What about The Avengers?

  • Wilpon | Sun Sep 30 04:38:24 EDT 2012Reply

    Bel Ami is nomination worthy

  • bimb | Sun Sep 23 09:27:04 EDT 2012Reply

    The Hobbit is the only movie that designed costumes that look real/good. Any doubts, go watch both trailers for the movie. Any more doubts, go watch The Lord of the Rings.

    I don't think we should forget about The Hunger Games. I mean, it's always been said, without a doubt, that most Costume Design Oscars go to the movies with the outright gestures of near-insane grandiose, well, costumes. And who's to say that despite the fact the costumes in The Hunger Games weren't widespread, but the sheer quantity and outrageousness of them isn't to be outdone. I think the fact it's not on anyone's mind for a first prediction is crazy.
