Mark Zuckerberg has conceded that the one thing "The Social Network" got right about his life is the T-shirts he wore as a Harvard student – so it makes sense that the film showed up on yet another list of Hollywood guild nominations on Thursday, as the Costume Designers Guild named it as one of the five best examples of costuming in contemporary film.
All of the usual suspects were accounted for in the CDG nominations, with nods also going to "The King's Speech," "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "True Grit" and "Inception," as well as "Burlesque," "The Tempest," "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," "Alice in Wonderland" (left) and "TRON: Legacy."
CDG film nominations are separated into three separate categories, with five noms in the Excellence in Contemporary Film category and three each in the Excellence in Period Film and Excellence in Fantasy Film areas.
On the television side, nominees ranged from "Big Love," "Glee" and "Dancing wih the Stars" to "Boardwalk Empire," "Mad Men" and "The Tudors."
The Costume Designers Guild Awards will take place at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills on February 22, and will be hosted by actress Kristin Davis. At the ceremony, CDG will also pay tribute to Halle Berry (the Lacoste Spotlight Award), designer Julie Weiss (the Disaronno Career Achievement in Film and Television Award) and director Joel Schumacher (the Distinguished Collaborator Award).
