Variety has the story on last night's Costume Designers Guild Awards, where Colleen Atwood ("Sweeney Todd"), Ann Roth ("The Golden Compass") and Julie Weiss ("Blades of Glory") reigned supreme.  The question lingering is, will Atwood turn the same trick at the Oscars?

Not so fast.

While Atwood has two Oscars to her credit ("Chicago" and "Memoirs of a Geisha"), she now has a whopping five trophies from the guild, adding "Lemony Snicket's a Series of Unfortunate Events," "Sleepy Hollow" and, now, "Sweeney" to the list.

The guild clearly loves her, having even nominated her for "Planet of the Apes" in 2000.

Incidentally, I was over at the FIDM fashion institute downtown this afternoon checking out the film costume design showcase and one of the curators was going on and on about how "nice" and "cool" Atwood is.  She's a legend in the field, but that doesn't always translate over to the Academy at large, so be careful.

Jacqueline Durran and Alexandra Byrne are still heavy favorites to take this statuette.  The latter, especially, features wall-to-wall garbs that might be too intoxicating to pass up, much like last year's "Marie Antoinette."  The former, meanwhile, has that sparkling green dress and plenty of period threads to prove a suitable winner.  It's a tight race, but Atwood's win yesterday evening doesn't add as much steam as one might think, so go with the gut here (which, for some, may very well be Atwood).

And check out Salini Dore's FIDM film costume design exhibit profile if you just can't get enough.
