Report: True Detective Wins Costume Award

By Reuben Levine | Feb 18, 2015

True Detective has been on a role as of late when it comes to awards. Even though things weren’t going its way early on, there has been a substantial change of pace. True Detective has managed to win several awards so far for other aspects of its production. And now it can add costumes to that growing list.

The CDG — Costume Designer’s Guild — is the last guild to present awards before the Oscars. When one thinks True Detective, costume design isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind. But perhaps that’s all part of the artistry; it’s done so well that you don’t even think about it.

Though that awesome Pink Floyd shirt that Woody Harrelson wears from the Division Bell tour does spring to mind. Hmmm.

True Detective won for Outstanding Contemporary Televisions Series. The costume design in True Detective is not only indicative of the time periods, but it feels natural and unobtrusive. Other winners in television included Game of Thrones, and American Horror Story: Freak Show.

Birdman, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Into the Woods were the three films that took the top spots. Birdman’s director Alejandro González Iñárritu was initially in talks to direct True Detective’s first season before dropping to do this film. So far it seems to be working out well for both parties.
