68 The Costume Designer Spring 2018 CD E.B. Brooks received the LA Stage Alliance Ovation Award for Costume Design (Large Theater) and the LA Drama Critics Circle Award for her designs in the spring 2017 production of The Legend of Georgia McBride by Matthew Lopez at the Geffen Playhouse. Even though this production had only five amazing actors, there were over 60 different costume changes, most of which were a diverse range of fabulous and fierce drag queen ensembles ranging throughout decades of musical inspiration. Brooks feels she could not have done it all without her amazing team of drapers, fabricators, and backstage crew. The Costume Design- ers Guild would like to congratulate CD Mark Bridges for his Best Costume Design win at the 90th Acad- emy Awards for the Focus Features film Phantom Thread. It is Bridges' eighth collabo- ration with director Paul Thomas Anderson and follows a 1950s British couturier (Dan- iel Day-Lewis) and his muse Alma (Vicky Krieps). Bridges explains, "One of my favorite parts was actually being able to create so many pieces from scratch. And working in the system very much like they worked in the system with couture of doing the toiles, working out the shape, figuring out where the seams are, always with the edict of try to do as few seams as possible in true couture fashion." IN FOCUS BOLDFACE NAMES BFN - HONORS CD Marcy Froehlich was nominated for an Ovation Award for her costumes for Gulf View Drive at the Rubicon Theatre in Ventura, Cali- fornia. The third in a trilogy, the play flashes forward to 1953 Florida where an ordinary young couple from rural Kentucky has their pleas- ant life challenged by family and turbulent times. The show itself won for Best Production of a Play (Large Theater) on January 29. Big applause and congratulations go to CD Barbara Chennault. Chennault has been nominated by the Television Academy for achievement in Costume Design for her work on the Amazon TV special, An American Girl Story: Ivy & Julie 1976 – A Happy Balance. She is filled with gratitude for the opportunity and thanks her team in advance for their hard work, determination, and commitment. CBS's The Bold and the Beautiful's CD Glenda Maddox, ACD Kristin Ingram, and team are proud and honored to be nominated and for the first time and individually recognized in the Outstand- ing Achievement in Costume Design for a Drama Series category for the 45th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. This will be Maddox's fifth nomination with three previous wins for the series. In addition to his Oscar statuette, CD Mark Bridges took home a Kawasaki jet ski for the briefest acceptance speech. In a memo- rable moment Bridges came onstage at the end of the 2018 Academy Awards riding the vehicle flanked by a glamorously gowned Dame Helen Mirren. Later Bridges had the jet ski auctioned and donated the proceeds to the Motion Picture Television Fund. He says, "I had been wanting to do something for Motion Picture for a long time and this seemed like just the right thing to do." BFN - PHILANTHROPY E.B.
