Oscar Prediction: Costume Design

February 28, 2004

Just over 24 hours to go before the ceremony, and we're ready to call another result. This time the category is costume design - one that has thrown up some surprises in the past.

Costume Design
Girl with a Pearl Earring  (3%)
Last Samurai, The  (11%)
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King  (74%)
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World  (10%)
Seabiscuit  (2%)

Again, Numbers readeres are sticking with the favorite, and predicting a win for Lord of the Rings. With the Rings costume team having been beaten in the last two years - first by Moulin Rouge, and then last year by Chicago - perhaps the Academy will feel its time to recognize them at last.

The Last Samurai and Master and Commander look like the outside bets to sneak a victory.
