Awards Watch: Cut and Paste

The Sex and the City gals have been pretty absent from the film awards race so far this year; even the Golden Globes overlooked them after showering the original show with eight trophies, half of which went to Sarah Jessica Parker alone.

Well, leave it to fashion to end that dry spell, as the Costume Designers Guild has nominated Patricia Field's designer duds from the Sex movie for their awards in the "Contemporary" category, which also includes Iron Man and Mamma Mia! Other nominees include Changeling and Milk among the "Period" nominees, while Batman competes with Prince Caspian for "Fantasy" honors. The 11th Annual CDG Awards will be presented February 17.

And in more awards news this week, the America Cinema Editors announced their nominees in three film categories. Contenders include The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Slumdog Millionaire, Tropic Thunder, WALL-E and Man on Wire. The 59th Annual "Eddie" Awards will be handed out on February 15.

For a quick look at all the film nominees from both guilds, see the comments section below.
