When Avatar: Fire and Ash was included in the list of nominees for the 98th Academy Awards, I wasn’t surprised. Well, at least, I wasn’t shocked it was nominated for Best Special Effects. No, what grabbed my attention was that it is also nominated for… Best Costume Design. That seems weird, to say the least. Production Design? That would have made sense. And I fully expect it’ll win the special effects category, and deservedly so. But Costume Design? That one still has me scratching my head and wondering if it means we’ll see a change in this category in the future.
