The Costumers Have Spoken
The nominees from the Costume Designers Guild are:
Contemporary:
"Babel," Michael Wilkinson
"Casino Royale," Lindy Hemming
"The Devil Wears Prada," Patricia Field
"The Queen," Consolata Boyle
"Little Miss Sunshine," Nancy Steiner
(I was 2/5)
Period:
"Curse of the Golden Flower," Chung Man Yee
"Dreamgirls," Sharen Davis
"The Illusionist," Ngila Dickson
"Marie Antoinette," Milena Canonero
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," Penny Rose (?)
(I was 2/5, predicted "Pirates" in fantasy)
Fantasy:
"Eragon," Kym Barret
"The Founatin," Renee April
"V for Vendetta," Sammy Sheldon
"Pan's Labyrinth," Lala Huete
"X-Men: The Last Stand," Judianna Makovsky
(I was 3/5)
Check out the story at Variety.
More early guild support for "Babel" and "Little Miss Sunshine." The mention for "Dreamgirls" was expected, and perhaps, same with "The Queen." And there's lots of passion out there for "The Illusionist." Screenplay, costumes, score, etc. Watch out.
All the Oscar nominees may in fact end up being represented here. I've been sticking with "Bobby," "Curse of the Golden Flower," "Dreamgirls," "The Illusionist" and "Marie Antoinette" for a week now, but Julie Weiss might be weak, so perhaps "The Devil Wears Prada," "The Queen" or even "Pirates" can show up instead.
Comments
I thought Curse would get nominated.
But Babel and LMS are surprise nominations for me.

I too went 7/15. Here is a guild which never fails to surprise (and also never fails to ignore Sandy Powell). Ah well; some variation is a good thing.
I maintain this is a very open Oscar race beyond Canonero and Davis, though I'm sure at least one more nominee will come from this lot, probably two and possibly three.
"The Black Dahlia" and "Miss Potter" strike me as most able to score in spite of snubs here.

Even with their new category, CDG has never gone more than 3/5 with the Oscars. I think we'll see something like Miss Potter and The Painted Veil, along with three (or less) from Period.
