Why it matters: With the Academy Award for Costume Design going to a period film all but four times since 1999, the CDG timeline now sets the stage for early industry momentum in a category where fantasy and sci-fi designs like *Black Panther* and *Mad Max* have broken the pattern. The fixed dates give studios and designers clear benchmarks to align campaigns and visibility efforts around award eligibility and promotion.
