When it comes to the costume design category at the Oscars, voters usually go for period pieces over contemporary or fantasy films. But the Costume Designers Guild includes films in all three genres, which makes for some interesting nominees. Here are this year’s nominees; something tells me there’s about to be a lot of discussion in the comments section over whether Avatar really had costumes.

Fantasy

Avatar

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Star Trek

Contemporary

(500) Days of Summer

Bruno

Crazy Heart

Precious

Up in the Air

Period

Coco Before Chanel

Julie & Julia

Nine

Sherlock Holmes

The Young Victoria

The Young Victoria, Nine, and Sherlock Holmes seem to be the films with the best shot at repeating with Oscar nominations, don’t you think?
