Costume Designer's Guild (CDG) Nominees

Some interesting nominations including Beasts of the Southern Wild, but all five Oscar nominees did make the cut, and the exclusion of Django Unchained, which surprised some people, seems to have repeated itself here. The inclusions of Argo, Silver Linings, and the exclusion of Life of Pi do say something about where this particular branch stands at the Oscars. Most likely the winner of the Period film will determine who wins the Oscar, but watch out for Academy favorite Colleen Atwood.
