No, we’re still not done with the 2012 awards nomination lists apparently. The Costume Designers Guild is the latest organization to unveil their list of films, television shows, and commercials that stood out from the pack in 2012. The winners will be revealed at the 15th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards on February 19, 2013.

In addition to the competitive awards, a special LACOSTE Spotlight Award will be presented to Les Miserables Anne Hathaway, Saturday Night Live‘s Lorne Michaels will be honored with the Distinguished Collaborator Award, and Honorary Career Achievement Awards will be given to costume designers Judianna Makovsky and Eduardo Castro.

“We are looking forward to celebrating the 15th Anniversary of the Costume Designers Guild Awards this year. Since the first CDG Awards in 1999, we have watched the event grow from a small ceremony into a fabulous gala at which some of the most esteemed celebrities, directors and producers in the industry gather to celebrate the talent and arduous work of Costume Designers,” stated Mary Rose, President of the Costume Designers Guild Local #892.
