The four Oscar nominees were split between three categories, avoiding a direct clash prior to the 2025 Oscars on March 2. Conclave prevailed in Contemporary against co-nominees Challengers, Emilia Pérez, The Fall Guy, and The Substance. In Fantasy, winner Wicked was up against Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Borderlands, Dune: Part Two, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The only two Oscar nominees to face off were Gladiator II and Nosferatu in Period, the latter of which prevailed, with the other contenders being The Book of Clarence, Maria, and Saturday Night.

Three of the last five Oscar winners for Best Costume Design first prevailed here: Poor Things (2024), Cruella (2022), and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom (2021). 2023 Oscar winner, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, lost the CDGA to Everything Everywhere All At Once, and 2020 Oscar champ, Little Women, was not nominated at CDGA.

A total of nine competitive awards were handed out during the ceremony held at the Ebell of Los Angeles. Three-time Oscar winner Jenny Beavan (A Room With a View, Mad Max: Fury Road, Cruella) was honored with the Career Achievement Award. Former guild president and longtime board member Salvador Perez received the Distinguished Service Award. Janelle Monáe accepted the Vanguard Spotlight Award. And Zoe Saldaña was given the Spotlight Award from her Emilia Pérez director Jacques Audiard.
