It’s officially Oscar season! The nominations for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards were only just announced this morning but there’s already buzz about possible winners. Here at the Image section there’s only one award that we’re biting our nails over, stressing out about and placing bets for -- just kidding about that last part -- but we’re seriously excited about who will take home the Oscar in costume design. Among other places, the films nominated took viewers on an adventure to Wonderland, back in time to visit King George VI and out to the cowboy gunslinging of the West. Here are the nominees in the costume design category: ‘True Grit’ (costumes by Mary Zophres), ‘The King’s Speech’ (costumes by Jenny Beavan), “Alice in Wonderland” (costumes by Colleen Atwood), ‘I Am Love’(costumes by Antonella Cannarozzi) and ‘The Tempest’ (costumes by Sandy Powell). And the Oscar goes to.... Well, we won’t know until Feb. 27 but I’ve always wanted to say that.
