11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards

Just about everyone that knows me, knows I have an unnatural addiction to costuming. What do I mean 'unnatural addiction'? Basically, a movie or show can tank but if the costumes are exceptional, it will get 5 stars from me. Never ask me for my movie opinions. They are a bit skewed.
With that being said, last night was the 11th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards. Below are the nominees and winners. The winners are in bold and in some cases, I have italicized my choice.
