From Cecil Beaton and Edith Head to Sandy Powell and Colleen Atwood, the work of costume designers is crucial to the look of the characters of any movie.
The Academy Award for Best Costume Design is given out annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for the best achievement of film costume design of the previous year. Films that are eligible for the award must meet a series of criteria, including the requirement that the costumes must have been “conceived” by a costume designer.
