Costume Designers & Makeup Guilds Announced

The Costume Designers Guild and Makeup & Hairstyling have announced their nominees for 2018. These two guilds don’t indicate much of anything except their own categories- they aren’t so much bellwethers for Best Picture strength, since Oscar nominees can often not even be BP nominees at all. But as for what will make it in at the Oscars, I’m going to guess Black Panther, The Favourite, Mary Poppins Returns, Crazy Rich Asians and Nutcracker for costumes, and Bohemian Rhapsody, Vice and Stan & Ollie for Makeup & Hair.
