2010: Episode 2-Best Costume Design

We heard you like period pieces, members of the jury! For this week's case, your detectives go deep on the nominees for Best Costume Design of 2010. Sandy Powell is our winner and she is among our best to do period dress so she wins, but what about the other period outfits? Coco Before Chanel gets a nomination literally off its title, we LOVE Bright Star, and delve into the tragedies behind The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. And, finally... we ask what the hell is up with Nine. You can follow the show @anatomyofanoscar on TikTok, Instagram, and Bluesky and @oscaranatomypod on Twitter and Letterboxd.
