Winners of the 85th Academy Awards 2013 including Best Costume Design Award for Anna Karenina!

LIVE Blogging Tonight is for the 85th Academy Awards (starting at 7e/4p for its annual red carpet)! Joe Wright's Anna Karenina (starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen) film is nominated for 4 Oscars, unfortunately, neither on the acting nor the directing categories, but in the technical categories! Still, glad the Oscars recognized the amazing crew of AK and their beautiful work. Here's hoping they'll win at least one or two or win them all!

UPDATE:

Jacqueline Durran: Keira Knightley "particularly is a dream to dress. Anything you give you will look the best it can." (via ITV News)
Jacqueline Durran, Costume Design (Anna Karenina): Minutes after winning the Oscar for costume design for her work on Anna Karenina, Jacqueline Durran told reporters backstage that director Joe Wright told her to focus on silhouette and color. "Quite often what happens is you design for the director and then he uses your costumes in a way you never would have imaged." She also said the actors -- and particularly Keira Knightley, whom she worked with on Wright's Atonement -- had a lot to do with how well the costumes worked. "This was a very stylized look that they really had to be on board with." This marks Durran's first Oscar win. She was previously nominated for her costume work on Atonement, also directed by Wright and starring Knightley. -- Pamela McClintock (via Hollywood Reporter)
Also, she won at the 15th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards With Presenting Sponsor Lacoste

    - Dario Marianelli, nominee for Best Original Score (ANNA KARENINA)

    Achievement in cinematography

    Seamus McGarvey
    “The director of the film I’m currently working on just texted me. We had a $100 bet that I wouldn’t get nominated, but he texted me that he’s $100 richer! I’m over the moon!”
    -Seamus McGarvey, nominee for Best Cinematography (ANNA KARENINA)

    Achievement in costume design

    Also, Denzel Washington’s statement regarding his Best Actor Oscar nomination for Flight: ‘Flight’ was one of the most challenging roles I’ve ever had in my career, and it was an honor to be directed by Robert Zemeckis. It’s always nice to be asked back to the show, and it will be fun to share the evening with our nominated screenwriter John Gatins.”
