However, since the outfits were actually made in Edith Head’s Paramount Studios costume department, some felt that doing so created enough of a technicality to nominate Head, instead of Givenchy. And, indeed, since she refused to have her name alongside Givenchy’s in the credits, she was given credit for the costumes, even though the Academy’s votes were obviously for Hepburn’s attire. Head did not refuse the Oscar, however.[6] 1956 – Color – To Catch a Thief 1956 – Black and White – The Rose Tattoo 1957 – Color – The Ten Commandments 1957 – Black and White – The Proud and Profane 1958 – Best Costume Design – Funny Face 1959 – Best Costume Design, Black and White or Color – The Buccaneer 1960 – Color – The Five Pennies 1960 – Black and White – Career 1961 – Color – Pepe 1961 – Black and White – The Facts of Life – won 1962 – Color – Pocketful of Miracles 1963 – Color – My Geisha 1963 – Black and White – The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 1964 – Color – A New Kind of Love 1964 – Black and White – Wives and Lovers 1964 – Black and White – Love with the Proper Stranger 1965 – Color – What a Way to Go! 1965 – Black and White – A House Is Not a Home 1966 – Color – Inside Daisy Clover 1966 – Black and White – The Slender Thread 1967 – Color – The Oscar Note: After 1967, the Academy no longer distinguished between awards for Color and awards for Black and White films. 1970 – Sweet Charity 1971 – Airport 1974 – The Sting – won 1976 – The Man Who Would Be King 1978 – Airport ’77 |
