Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence in Period/Fantasy Film

The Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence in Period/Fantasy Film was one of the annual awards given by the Costume Designers Guild from 1999 until 2004.

In 1998, all films, regardless of genre, competed in a combined Excellence in Film category. Among the inaugural nominees, three were period dramas, except for The Truman Show , which was the only modern-set film recognized, while the eventual winner, Pleasantville , was a fantasy film. The award was split into Excellence in Contemporary Film and Excellence in Period/Fantasy Film at subsequent ceremony. Since 2005, the latter category was further divided into Excellence in Period Film and Excellence in Fantasy Film, with each genre receiving its own award. ^[1]
