Blue Jasmine designer wins costume award

The costume designer for the Cate Blanchett film Blue Jasmine has been recognised at an awards ceremony in California.

The designer who dressed Cate Blanchett for her role in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine has received an award at the Costume Designers Guild Awards.

12 Years A Slave and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire were also feted for their onscreen outfits at the awards in California on Saturday night.

Blue Jasmine costume designer Suzy Benzinger received the award for Excellence In Contemporary Film during the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, while 12 Years A Slave triumphed in the Period Film category.

The team behind Jennifer Lawrence's costumes in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire received the Excellence In Fantasy Film prize, and the TV categories were dominated by shows including British drama Downton Abbey (Outstanding Period/Fantasy Television Series) and House Of Cards (Outstanding Contemporary Television Series).

The lavish outfits worn by Michael Douglas in the Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra scored the production a win in the Outstanding Made For Television Movie Or Miniseries category.

The second Hobbit film missed out for the Fantasy Film award for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

The Hobbit has missed out on a number of gongs so far this Hollywood awards season, though it did win best character animation in a live action production for its work on Gollum in the first Hobbit film.
