Who wins these two categories?
Art Direction:
Good Night, and Good Luck
Harry Potter
King Kong
Memoirs of a Geisha
Pride & Prejudice
Costume Design:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Memoirs of a Geisha
Mrs. Henderson Presents
Pride & Prejudice
Walk the Line
Am I crazy for picking Memoirs for both? Even though the movie got luke-warm reception by the critics, I think it isn't a stretch to say it was still one of the most beautiful-looking flicks this year.

Posted: 2/28/06 at 9:03amseems the hottest names in the tech categories are GEISHA and KONG so go with your gut TMITM. (although i think Pride & Prejudice has a chance for sets and cinematography)

I think Geisha is a smart choice in these categories. The only competition here would be KK for Art Direction.
It's interesting that Geisha pulled out 6 noms--as many or more than all the Best Pic noms, except Brokeback. That, the fact that the Academy will overlook poor reviews/box office in the tech categories, and that most everyone agrees that Geisha looked gorgeous gives Geisha a nice edge.

Posted: 2/28/06 at 12:02pmI would choose Memoirs of a Geisha for both categories, but I'm guessing that they'll give Good Night, and Good Luck the art direction award, since it probably won't win anything else.

Geshia will win costumes hands down.
I would like to see Harry Potter win for Art Direction. We'll see though.

It's going to be Geisha for both. Hands down.
As great as GNGL was, it's going home empty handed.

Posted: 3/1/06 at 2:19pmThe art direction for Kong was amazing; I'd really love to see it upset Geisha. Their recreation of 1930s New York so vivid and meticulous.

Posted: 3/1/06 at 2:43pmKong for Art Direction, Mrs. Henderson for Costumes (i know it will probably be Geisha, but Mrs. Henderson was such a better film).
Don't f*ck with me fellas. This ain't my first time at the rodeo.
