12 Hours of Oscar: 2010 Academy Awards trivia every hour until the show starts.

While neither is Edith Head (35 Oscar nominations), costume designers Colleen Atwood (Nine) and Sandy Powell (The Young Victoria) both earned their eighth Oscar nominations this year. The designers, both two-time winners, have been competing against each other for a decade, with each winning Best Costume Design in the same year that the other was nominated. Powell took home the Oscar in 1999 and 2005 for Shakespeare in Love and The Aviator, respectively, beating Atwood who was nominated for Beloved and Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. In turn, Atwood won Oscars in 2003 and 2006 for Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha when Powell was nominated for Gangs of New York and Mrs. Henderson Presents.

If you’re wondering who’s going to win tonight, I’m putting my money on Powell for The Young Victoria.
