Art Direction and Costume Design Oscars

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.

re: Art Direction and Costume Design Oscars

seems 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.

I 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.

I am picking Geisha for costumes and Good Night for Art Direction.

It's going to be Geisha for both. Hands down.

As great as GNGL was, it's going home empty handed.

The 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.

Everything about KONG was breathtaking.

Kong 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.
