Zoe Hewitt Earning recognition for hard work feels good and earning it from your peers in your chosen career path is even more special.

This year’s nominees for the Costume Designers Guild Awards, which takes place on March 9 at The Broad Stage in Santa Monica, are reaping acknowledgement directly from fellow designers who understand better than anyone what goes into the process.Salvador Perez, president of the CDG, is busy planning the 24th annual awards, hosted by Andrew Rannells and Casey Wilson, with multiple contingencies in place, from forging ahead with a live event to streaming the evening online.“Since [audiences] aren’t doing anything, they’re actually paying more attention [to our work],” says Perez.

Streaming at home means audiences can pause scenes for instant screen grabs and examine everything in copious detail. Perez speculates that the designers’ work is under more scrutiny now than ever before.

Mayes C. Rubeo, nominee for Excellence in Period Television for “WandaVision” says she’s “humbled” to be recognized alongside her peers.The show’s challenge, which Rubeo calls “fun, like a discovery” was working in black and white.
