50 Years of Academy Award Winning Costume Design

Infographic showcasing 50 years of Oscar winners in the costume design category.

We are just a few short days away from the annual Academy Awards, otherwise known as the Oscars. Even as more Oscar-worthy movies come out, it’s still important to talk about some of the old winners. I’m sure you’ve already heard about the best actors and actresses; they generally are pretty good at stealing the limelight.  Maybe even supporting actors and actresses have made it on your radar.

The backdrop for the outstanding work of these actors is set with extreme care, and is not something to gloss over.   The award winning costume designs don’t get much appreciation.  But if you take a closer look, you will realize how much work and effort went into these designs

Just look at one of the recent winners, Mad Max: Fury Road. That movie was impressive, and it had breathtaking costume designs as well. Sometimes the impact is much more subtle than you’d imagine.  Check out more of these costumes and see if you recognize any of them.
