Best costume design

Who will win: Michael Wilkinson for “American Hustle” Who should win: Catherine Martin for “The Great Gatsby”

June 22, 2014

While most of “The Great Gatsby” was a glorified student project with sloppy editing and confusing directing (it WAS Baz Luhrmann, after all) , there were some good aspects.  The role of Jay Gatsby seems almost like it was made for Leonardo DiCaprio, and some of the other actors displayed enough raw skill to carry an entire scene (namely Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan.)  Far and away the best part of the film, however, was the costume design.  Catherine Martin was tasked with creating a timeless yet time-accurate representation of the lavish lifestyle these characters had, and she hit it out of the park.
