Kittens, the CDGA put out their yearly nominations for the best in costume design for motion pictures and television and we, being the costume, film and TV critics we like to think we are, have some opinions on the matter. And by that we mean we’re just gonna yell out our picks, which were all somewhat surprisingly easy for us, no offense to the other nominees. It’s just that this year offered up some fairly clearly frontrunners in costume design.
