Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence in Contemporary Television
Annual CDG TV award
Summary
Annual CDG TV award
The Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence in Contemporary Television is one of the annual awards given by the Costume Designers Guild.
In 1998, the Guild introduced a single award category titled Excellence in Television, in which all television programs competed regardless of genre or format. Among the inaugural nominees, four were period dramas. The winner that year was The Tempest, a fantasy television film. Furthermore, all nominated shows were either limited series or television films, which makes it the only time with no regularly continued series recognized. Beginning with the 1999 ceremony, the Guild divided the award into two categories: Excellence in Contemporary Television and Excellence in Period/Fantasy Television.
