26TH CDGA (COSTUME DESIGNERS GUILD AWARDS)
Annual Ceremony Took Place on Wednesday,
February 21, 2024
at NeueHouse Hollywood
Winners have been announced for the
26th CDGA (Costume Designers Guild Awards)
which took place earlier at
NeueHouse in Hollywood, California.
The annual CDGA celebrated excellence in film, television,
short form costume design, and costume illustration. The CDG
includes more than 1,200 costume designers, assistant
costume designers, and illustrators working in motion
pictures, television, commercials, music videos, and new
media programs throughout the world.
Wendi McLendon-Covey hosted
the evening which celebrated special honorees Annette
Bening, Billie Eilish, Francine Jamison-Tanchuck, as
well as the winners of the nine competitive award
categories.
This year’s gala was sponsored by premier sponsor
Western Costume Company
and supporting sponsor Westfield Century City.
Annette Bening received
the Spotlight Award,
which honors an actor whose talent and career personify an
enduring commitment to excellence, including a special
awareness of the role and importance of Costume Design.
Bening’s Costume Designer from “Nyad,” Kelli Jones and
the legendary Costume Designer, Albert
Wolsky gave
heartfelt remarks about
Bening and how working with someone like her is the reason
they are in the industry.
Francine Jamison-Tanchuck
received a standing ovation while accepting the Career
Achievement Award, which recognizes an individual
whose career in costume design has left an indelible mark on
film and television. “The Color Purple” star Danielle
Brooks presented Jamison-Tanchuck with the award and
reflected on how she “creates characters and cultures,
immersing and delighting viewers with stunning images on
screen.”
Billie Eilish was
awarded the Vanguard Spotlight Award,
which celebrates a trailblazer who ignites the imaginations
of cognoscenti and audiences alike. This accolade is a
tribute to a performing artist who sets new standards in
their sphere, not only for their outstanding achievements
but also for their courage as a visionary that serves as an
inspiration to us all. Shirley Kurata, the designer
for Eilish’s “What Was I Made For” music video, presented
her with the award. While accepting her award on-stage,
Eilish said, “Fashion has always been my way of expression –
more than anything else it’s like my communication tool.”
Eilish continued, “I think being able to communicate through
what I wear and to show how I feel and who I want to be is
such a gift that I feel so lucky to have.”
