El Luchador's Oscar Yays! and Nays!: Costume Design

PROBABLY WILL WIN


COCO BEFORE CHANEL (Catherine Leterrier) - This is another one that I never really understand. The award always goes to a period piece, one that the designers may have just gone to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to study the designs, or gone to Barnes and Noble for some research books, or stopped by their local Internet for some vintage photos. Let's be honest, that isn't super hard. Yeah, deciding which ones to put up on screen takes a discerning eye, but coming up with something completely insane out of thin air seems like it would take a lot more work, creativity, and spunk. It is up between this and "The Young Victoria," but I am going with this because it is completely about the clothes.


SHOULD WIN

BRUNO
(Jason Alper) - C'mon, half of the jokes are resting in those outfits. This guy should have been nominated purely on the cod piece Bruno is wearing when sexually embarrassing Ron Paul. On a side note, was that the same baby from the Lil' Wayne album cover?
