The Odyssey stands as the clearest frontrunner for a Best Costume Design nomination at the 2027 Oscars, driven by Ellen Mirojnick’s historically researched work on Christopher Nolan’s epic and Universal’s early campaign push including behind-the-scenes features. Dune: Part Three and La Bola Negra follow closely, with Jacqueline West’s evolving Arrakis silhouettes and Ana López Cobos’s multi-era designs earning strong precursor attention. Werwulf and Wuthering Heights also generate momentum through tactile historical accuracy and period detail. The Costume Designers Guild nominations, expected in December, will serve as a key signal ahead of Academy shortlist voting in mid-December and final nomination ballots in January. Late reviews and guild results could still shift the field before the January 21 announcement.
