Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris - 1 nomination

 

Best Achievement in Costume Design
Jenny Beavan

Ada is "just" a simple housekeeper who treats her clients with the greatest of respect, even when they don't return the favor. She falls in love with a Dior dress that one of her employers owns, and decides to save up and work toward the dream of flying to Paris and purchasing a Dior dress of her own. When she finally gets there, she faces many challenges and twists and turns, but through the kindness of others she makes her way into the judgy world of haute couture. But not just that, she endears herself to (almost) the entire staff of Dior who do everything they can to deliver the most exquisite dress she has ever seen.

I won't say more about the details of the film but can tell you that this was one of the most delightful films of the year. It may even make my top 10 list because the fashion is phenomenal and the story is even better. It warms your heart and promotes the notion that kindness will be repaid, that people should be good to each other, and that nothing beats having the perfect dress when times are hard.  See it, you'll be enamored with this lovely film.
