Is it too late to submit a nominee for best costume design at the 2019 Academy Awards? While presenting the award, Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry pulled up to the stage looking like last-minute contenders. The duo honoured every movie nominated — Black Panther, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Favourite, Mary Poppins Returns, and Mary Queen of Scots — looking like the human embodiment of a movie set's dressing room.
Ruth E. Carter of Black Panther won the award, and Melissa and Brian won the internet. We think we've just found the cast for a Favourite sequel — stuffed bunnies, included! "These artists create a prestige of textiles with authenticity yet never distract from the story," Melissa said, as her bunnies distracted us from the show. "Costume designers construct the looks around a character to a particular time and place in the subtlest, subtlest of ways." Very subtle indeed!
