Carter, known for her costume design on “Black Panther” — it won her an Oscar in 2018 — was nominated for her work on the Netflix movie “Dolemite Is My Name,” starring Eddie Murphy; Åkerlund received a nod for Madonna’s “God Control” music video, and Turini could win for the looks in Lena Waithe’s movie “Queen and Slim.”

Mitchell Travers’ discovery of the Born Exotic stripwear bus, which became a key source for the outfits used in “Hustlers,” might end up being his strongest revelation — because he’s been nominated in the Excellence in Contemporary Film category.

Charlize Theron, along with costume designers Mary Ellen Fields, Michael Kaplan and director Adam McKay, will receive lifetime honors at CDGA — and Mindy Kaling is slated to host the evening.
