‘Jojo Rabbit,’ ‘Knives Out,’ ‘Malificent 2’ Win Top Prizes at Costume Designers Guild Awards

“Jojo Rabbit,” “Knives Out” and “Malificent: Mistress of Evil” have been named the best-dressed films of 2019 by the Costume Designers Guild, which handed out its annual awards on Tuesday night in Los Angeles.

“Jojo Rabbit” won in the Excellence in Period Film category, “Maleficent” in the Excellence in Sci-Fi/Fantasy Film category and “Knives Out” in the Excellence in Contemporary Film category.

Of this year’s winners, only “Jojo Rabbit” is nominated for Oscars in the Best Costume Design category. “Knives Out” and “Malificent” are not, with the Academy’s Costume Designers Branch this year only nominating two of the 15 CDG nominees, “Jojo” and “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood.” (The Oscar costume nominees not singled out by the guild are “The Irishman,” “Joker” and “Little Women.”)

Among the Hollywood guild awards, a CDG win is not one of the more reliable Oscar predictors. In the previous 21 years, one of the CDG winners has gone on to win the Oscar only 10 times, including “Black Panther” last year.

Awards in the four television categories went to “Schitt’s Creek,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Game of Thrones” and “The Masked Singer.”

Also at the show, Charlize Theron received the Spotlight Award, Michael Kaplan the Career Achievement Award, Adam McKay the Distinguished Collaborator Award and Mary Ellen Fields the Distinguished Service Award.
