Okay...so I knew that "Australia" wouldn't be sweeping the acting/directing awards at all...

But its lack of nominations from the COSTUME DESIGNERS GUILD actually enrages me. Milk and Revolutionary Road over Australia? What are they smoking??? Just because it's cool for the media to (unjustly) rip Nicole Kidman to shreds, how on earth does that justify this absolute insanity? While all three have period-appropriate clothing, Australia's are brilliantly reflective of the characters (ie: Kidman's transformation from icy bitch to warm and nurturing surrogate mother is paralled by starting the movie in a claustrophobic black outfit to relaxed outfits with bright colors). Plus, I guarantee that the costume pictured below is better than anything in the Revolutionary Road and Milk wardrobes:
