“I, Tonya” and “The Shape of Water” took home some of the top awards at the 2018 Costume Designers Guild Awards in Beverly Hills, Calif. Tuesday night.

Guillermo Del Toro and Kerry Washington were among those honored. The majority of nominees and honorees wore black to show support for the Time’s Up movement.

Del Toro was presented with the Distinguished Collaborator award; Washington received the Spotlight award.

When accepting his award, Del Toro described how he builds his characters. He revealed he creates four to eight-page biographies for each character. Referencing his Oscar-nominated film, “The Shape of Water,” Del Toro said that whether its a mute lead or a black best friend he wants to make sure they are “not eye candy, eye protein.”

After an emotional introduction from “Scandal” costume designer Lyn Paolo, Washington took the stage and thanked Paolo for creating Olivia Pope’s iconic style. Washington admitted that she was nervous when creator Shonda Rhimes said her character would not be pregnant on the show although Washington was expecting in real life. Washington described Paolo cutting holes into designer pants so that her character could still have her signature strut and look. The “Scandal” star also added that seeing a character’s wardrobe allows her to become the role. “I don’t really know what type of person a character is until I know what shoes she wears,” Washington said.

The ceremony was hosted by “Jane the Virgin” star Gina Rodriguez. She opened the award show with, “The history of design is the history of entertainment.” She praised Rachel Sage Kunin, the costume designer on her CW show, for creating clothes specifically for Rodriguez’s body type. She then showed a slide show of casual and theatrical looks her character has worn for four seasons.

Mark Hamill gave a speech to honor John Mollo, the Oscar award-winning costume designer behind the original “Star Wars” series and “Gandhi,” who was posthumously inducted into the Costume Designers Guild Hall of Fame.

Nominated in the excellence in contemporary film category were Nadine Haders for “Get Out,” Jennifer Johnson for “I, Tonya,” Arianne Phillips for “Kingsman: The Golden Circle,” April Napier, and Melissa Toth for “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.” Johnson, for “I, Tonya,” was the winner.

Prior to winning the award, Johnson shared with Variety her inspiration behind her ‘I, Tonya,” designs. She said she wanted to “erase” what she thought she knew about Tonya Harding, which was difficult. “From there, I wanted to go deeper and figure out who was this person that we all thought we knew,” Johnson said. She added that she had to watch grainy YouTube videos and VHS tapes to recreate the skating uniforms.

Luis Sequeira won for “The Shape of Water” in the excellence in period film category, beating out Jeffrey Kurland for “Dunkirk,” Ellen Mirojnick for “The Greatest Showman,” Alexandra Byrne for “Murder on the Orient Express,” and Mark Bridges for “Phantom Thread.“

Other winners from the evening were Ane Crabtree for excellence in contemporary television for her designs in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Jane Petrie for excellence in period television for her work on “The Crown,” and Michele Clapton for excellence in sci-fi or fantasy television for her designs in “Game of Thrones.”
