    I think that The Duchess should have won this one because of all the beautiful scenes and all the awesome costumes that was in it. One of the best movies i have seen in a long time!

    I fell in love with the outfits. They were over the top but back then that is how they dressed. They did a fabulous job and defanitly deserve to win!

    The costumes were fantastic in this movie and Ms. Keira Knightly was stunning in them! She has great beauty and is still growing into her classic good looks (reminder of Audrey Hepurn) . I think this was an enlightening piece of "histo-drama" and the costume design was remarkable!
