costumes and make-up. And to hear we have got nominated in both categories is in
itself a big achievement," Ali said in a statement.

for hours in a day just for my fittings and markings. And how meticulously
Consolata Boyle would tailor them to match the period we were depicting. It was
like watching a painter unravel a masterpiece.
"The same goes for Daniel
Phillips, a Golden Globe winner, who was responsible for all our looks. We tried
several looks for days and finally locked the one you see in the film. It
constantly changes in sync with the costumes through the film. I am glad the
Academy saw that. My best wishes to all the other nominees as well,"
