A lot of the things Evan Rachel Wood and Nikki Reed wore were their own clothing, but they were still perfect for the characters and deserve the attention.<br /><br />Then there's the fact that the stuff the characters wore in God Help The Girl was probably really hard to find. They should take that into account too.

Seriously, why are modern-set films so ...LOVE this. Seriously, why are modern-set films so rarely nominated for Best Costume? The Bling Ring and Thirteen are two perfect candidates. I love the threads in those flicks. <br /><br />This is why I take issue with some of these categories, because they are all about the individual effort, as opposed to WHAT the effort says about the film and/or the characters. For example, the tank tops Marion Cotillard wears throughout Two Days, One Night tell us more about her character than any monologue. Sure, they probably only cost $20 total at Target, but they <i>inform</i> the audience as to who this person is. To me, that's what is most important. Not who spent the most money to buy/create the biggest clothes for period films.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990332416861666709.post-60521216935986120842015-01-08T06:47:34.969-06:002015-01-08T06:47:34.969-06:00Thank you! :) I hope you like it.

I mean, I love God Help The Girl costumes, they are very stylish and up to date. But, the same time, they are very common, kind of outfit a lot teenager actually wears nowadays. As for period/fantasy outfits, they need a lot work, including research and full creation of actual cloths. And since Oscars is about recognizing most outstanding [aka hard] work of each nominee, they go with more complex choices.
