Nominated for Best Costumes and Best Hair and Makeup 
As a child, Estella (Emma Stone) dreamed of being a fashion designer, but sudden poverty and the death of her mother (Emily Beechum) put paid to that idea. Her grifter gangmate, Jasper (Joel Fry), secures her an opportunity to work at a high-end department store and an incident with a front window display brings her to the attention of The Baroness (Emma Thompson), the most premier fashion designer in London. Estella works as the Baroness's apprentice but soon comes to learn the woman is responsible for all of Estella's troubles, so Estella creates an alter ego named Cruella to directly challenge the Baroness and all of London's fashion society.
Y'all, it's so dumb. Like, bad dumb. And some of the worst CGI you've ever seen. This was created by a multi-billion dollar corporation that somehow could not find live dogs to be on screen. There are dog actors! Specifically trained to perform in movies! Disney's never heard of them, apparently.
The less said about the script, the better.
Emma Thompson is the only thing worth watching in this. The costumes are okay but could have gone further. Hair and makeup are elaborate, sure, but nowhere near the level of the other nominees.
It's streaming on Disney+ but you should avoid it at all cost.
