Oscars 2023 Predictions: Best Costume Design

Shonka Dukureh as Big Mama Thornton in “Elvis”
Warner. Pictures of Bros

CATEGORY COMMENT: Ruth E. Carter became the first black woman to win this category for “Black Panther” (2018). With two other nominations for “Malcolm X” (1992) and “Amistad” (1997), she even has a few snubs to her credit, including “Dolemite Is My Name” (2019). Her work on “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is another worthy entry that could bring her back to the stage.

Other headline titles vying for Best Costume Design include Catherine Martin’s musical threads in ‘Elvis’, Gersha Phillips’ creation of Dahomey in ‘The Woman King’ and Mary Zophres’ next look at the old Hollywood in “Babylon”.
