It appalls me that Memoirs of a Geisha received design nominations when its costuming was neither historically accurate nor interestingly reinterpretted for a story that relies so heavily on the aesthetic conventions of its world to drive it. Really seriously irritates me. At least it didn't get a makeup design nod.

Ayup. The geisha are the protectors of many of the ancient arts of Japan. They fucked that up in so many ways in the quest to make the not a whore story a whore story, that it just boggles the mind.
