Edith Head is our icon of the day. She was nominated for 35 Oscars for Best Costume Design with an astounding run from 1948 through 1966 wherein she was nominated every consecutive season. It helped that they used to split the category into black & white / color (thus allowing 10 nominees per year)...
We've long wondered if maybe they ought to split them again. This time into Period/Fantay and Contemporary. Otherwise modern films just aren't recognized. It will be a crying shame to watch Hustler's Aughts fashions denied in just a matter of days over less inspired period work.
