Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood, prosthetic makeup artist Barrie Gower and composers Hans Zimmer, Nicholas Britell and Danny Elfman were among the industry heavyweights who landed Creative Arts Emmy nominations on Wednesday morning.
Atwood, a four-time Oscar winner, picked up her second Emmy nomination in Outstanding Contemporary Costume Design in Tim Burton’s “Wednesday.” Speaking about her work on the show and the recreation of icon Morticia Addams’ costumes, Atwood said, “We reinvented the look with this silver fabric on the side, which was glued to black, twisted and sewn. The dress had a more contemporary shape. I think we honored previous versions of Morticia that came before.
