1. 12 Years a Slave2. American Hustle3. The Great Gatsby4. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire5. The Invisible Woman (Alt: Oz the Great and Powerful) Given the Costumers branch's aversion to rewarding contemporary work, or even work with the slightest sense of subtlety, you can more or less pick the flashy work available and you won't be too far off. Now having said that, the frontrunner in this category is most likely 12 Years a Slave, a historically realistic clothing that doesn't dazzle or sparkle but adds much to the movie nonetheless. You can also count Best Picture contender American Hustle as a for sure bet given the endless amount of snazzy 70's attire that the characters are paraded in. After that, the loud and the glitzy comes in with the Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby and the mega-blockbuster sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Finally for the last spot, I'm going to go with the obligatory period piece, which makes up most of this category's history, with Ralph Fiennes' The Invisible Woman. The garb seemed rather generic, so if they feel like going in a more fantasy-oriented direction, Oz the Great and Powerful could be an alternative.
A film fanatic at a very young age, starting with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movies and gradually moving up to more sophisticated fare, at around the age of ten he became inexplicably obsessed with all things Oscar. With the incredibly trivial power of being able to chronologically name every Best Picture winner from memory, his lifelong goal is to see every Oscar nominated film, in every major category, in the history of the Academy Awards.
