Gabriella Pescucci was born in Rosignano Solvay in Tuscany in 1941 and began her film career as an assistant to Piero Tosi in the late 1960s. By the 1970s she was working as a costume designer in her own right with several films for Giovanni Patroni Griffi and also for Fellini, making her international debut in 1984 with 'Once Upon a Time in America', for which she took the first of her two British Film Academy Awards, the second being for 'The Adventures of Baron Munchausen'. In addition to her film work she has designed for the opera, notably 'La Traviata' at the Archimboldi Theatre, Milan and 'A Masked Ball' at the Kennedy Centre in Washington, D.C.

Thor's hammer and cape and the "Bridesmaids" dresses will both vie for honors at the 14th annual Costume Designers Guild Awards.

The guild released its list of nominees for the ceremony Wednesday, with a diverse list of contenders that included "Thor," "Bridesmaids," "The Artist." "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2" and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo."

On the TV front, HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" and "Game of Thrones" are both up for nods, as well as Showtime's "The Borgias" among others.

The ceremony, which will be hosted by Jane Lynch of "Glee" (which is also up for an award), will take place on Feb. 21 at the Beverly Hilton.
