BAFTA 2010: Nominations Announced | Clothes on Film
Posted by Chris Laverty – January 21, 2010
Here is the just announced list of nominations for BAFTA 2010, paying special attention to Best Costume Design because that is what we do here.
Four nods for Coco avant Chanel and, perhaps inevitably, Avatar, although not for costume design. The Hurt Locker gets a thoroughly well deserved shout for Best Film, though again costume design misses out. Period dominates then, as per the norm.

Our choice for Best Costume Design would be Janet Patterson’s meticulous early 19th century work on Bright Star, although all are worthy nominations. It is just a shame that, in general, only period films ever get the nod come award season. The Hurt Locker, costumes by George Little and Vicky Mulholland, for example is not pretty, but the attention to detail on correct fatigues and BDUs (Battle Dress Uniforms) is exemplary.
The Orange British Academy Film Awards (i.e. BAFTA) will take place on 21st February.
