2018 Oscar Predictions: PRODUCTION DESIGN and COSTUME DESIGN (November)

Erik Anderson October 31, 2017

Blade Runner 2049 remains a solid #1 in Production with a score of 99 this month. No changes in the 2-4 but Phantom Thread comes in for the #5 spot, jumping over The Greatest Showman, which falls to #6. Beauty and the Beast and The Post inch up as Wonderstruck falls and we have debuts this month from Victoria and Abdul at #11 and Wonder Wheel at #13.

Phantom Thread has always led the Costume Design predictions, long before a shot or a frame of the film was seen. Now, since the release of the trailer, it’s locked and loaded. It may be impossible to unseat. Darkest Hour holds onto the #2 spot and Beauty and the Beast rises to #3. The big fall and jump though are Wonderstruck, which goes from #3 last month to #8 this month and Victoria and Abdul, which abdicates that #8 to land at #4 this month. As the only film in contention with royal costumes that Oscar loves, it should be a strong contender for a nomination. Wonder Woman is the month’s sole debut.

These are the official 2018 Oscar Predictions in Production Design and Costume Design for November from the Gold Rush Gang. Keep an eye on all of the Gold Rush Gang’s 2018 Oscar predictions updated LIVE throughout the month.

Green – moves up from last month
Red – moves down from last month
Blue – debut/new entry
