2014 Oscar Predictions: Best Costume Design

The lavish 1920s costumes of “The Great Gatsby” are a shoo-in for Best Costume Design

Predicting the winner for Best Costume Design is pretty easy, the movie with the most “apparent” costumes is often crowned the winner. The more flash, glitter, and fabric, the better.

This year that goes The Great GatsbyThe costume design is an interesting one. It toes the line between an historical representation and a historical exaggeration. For this category, that’s a good thing.

The only film I can see possibly stealing its thunder is either American Hustle whose flash and bling is enough to power the east coast and 12 Years a Slave, which could win in the case of a sweep

Check out my rankings below and all of our Oscar predictions here!

Will Win: The Great Gatsby
Should Win: The Great Gatsby
Could Win: American Hustle
Should Have Been Nominated: Inside Llewyn Davis
