 Last week we had the 2005 ADGA (Art Directors Guild Awards). Today we’ve skipped B and gone straight to the CDGA, aka the Costume Designers Guild Awards. We’ve also skipped on by 12 months by taking another look at the event in 2006. Previously a set of photos were posted here in a 2010 update.
Kathryn was at the CDGA in 2005 supporting Cold Case costume designer Patia Prouty who worked on the show across the first three seasons. The premiere, Look Again, being the notable exception. Despite being nominated for the CDG Award three times between 2005 and 2007 Patia did not take the gold.
Since leaving CC Patia has worked on TV dramas Saving Grace and Justified. Currently she is designing costumes for the Cinemax series Banshee, starring, amongst others, Lili Simmons and Geno Segers. Both of those actors will be in the movie Bone Tomahawk, which Kathryn has a small role in. It’s a small world.
The 2015 CDGA happened a week ago. American Horror Show, Games Of Thrones and True Detective w on in their respective TV categories. Films du jour Birdman, Into The Woods and The Grand Budapest Hotel took the honours for movies.
A new (to the Gallery) photo of Kathryn looking very fetching in an off-the-shoulder red dress at the Costume Designers Guild Awards in 2006 is now in the KM UK Gallery.
Plus, you lucky people, we have 2 short videos of Kathryn on the red carpet at the event, the 2nd is an interview.
 Awards seasons, like the one we are in the middle of, could easily give you the impression it is all about actors, actresses and directors.
The big ceremonies like the Oscars and the BAFTAs are largely made up of presentations in those categories. They’re the ones that get all the publicity. It is understandable that the people you see on the screen, and the person considered responsible for where they are placed within its borders, get all the attention.
However, film-making involves a lot of different disciplines, and I’m not talking Fifty Shades Of Grey-style discipline.
Amongst the many awards events at this time of year is the Art Directors Guild Excellence In Production Design Awards. The 19th running occurred a couple of weeks ago, at the end of January. Production designers for, amongst others, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Guardians Of The Galaxy, Birdman, Game Of Thrones, and The Big Bang Theory won in various categories. Even the Oscars won an award. Have we reached the (no pun intended) stage where award shows are winning awards?
Back in 2005 Walk The Line was the big hit movie talking all the plaudits, and an ADG award. TV series Rome and TV movie Empire Falls were also recipients.
Actually, everyone was a winner in 2005 because Kathryn attended that year. So far, this event has evaded this site like some evade taxes. We’re closing that loophole right now!
14 photos of Kathryn at the Art Directors Guild Awards in 2005 are now in the KM UK Gallery. Thanks to smallbarbie for her help with these.
  
 It’s that time again.
Time to hand out some prizes in the annual KM UK Awards.
For the last couple of years we eschewed the silverware in favour of the more wallet-friendly “I ♡ KM UK” teddy bear. We’ve regained a little confidence economically but we’re not out of the woods (bear, woods, geddit?) yet so ‘austerity bear’ is back again. And, we love him so much it would not be the same without him now.
An Oscars-style awards ceremony doesn’t seem the same unless a statuette is involved though so I dipped into petty cash to buy a few new ones. There’s not enough for many full-sized versions so we bought miniatures instead. And, we found down the back of the sofa a few spare silver medals we handed out in 2012.
Put them all together and you get the medal-wearing, statue-clutching bear you see above. A ‘RichE’ wearing a ‘RichE’ and holding a ‘RichE’. Weird. Each winner will receive one.
Money is still tight though and these venues aren’t cheap to hire for the night so go easy on the free bar and buffet please.
That’s enough pre-event waffle from me. Let’s go over to our commentators, hosts, award givers and receivers.

 It’s nice that someone thinks of Kathryn when they are creating a fantasy cast for a work of fan fiction.
Personally I’d “go another way” if I were to write such a thing involving Kathryn though. There’d be less plot, perhaps just involving a plumber or pizza delivery boy, oddly coloured clothes, and more… bow chicka bow wow 😉 And a car chase! A short instead of a feature too 
Fan faction author Cleo Calliope has Kathryn down as Jemma Pierson in her latest story, Pack, based on Sherlock Holmes. It seems to be closer to the modern British TV version of Sherlock than many, albeit with an even younger Sherlock. The “real” thing stars, as the Guardian newspaper Twitter feed called him whilst posting the 2015 Oscar nominations, ‘benedict XCuebrvatch’. We thought the days of the ‘Grauniad’ were well and truly behind it thanks to modern technologies like the automatic spell-check in word processors. Clearly not.
We first meet Jemma in chapter three of Pack. She is, to say the least, already dead. Very dead. As Lilly Rush Kathryn’s used to people spilling their guts (as in confessing), not a person spilling hers. Jemma was also a drug-taking prostitute who went by the name Felicity. To quote from Pack:
Her mug shots showed a woman who had been rather pretty once but at 28 was starting to show the ravages of the life she led. Her hair had been badly bleached from her natural brown to a very unnatural blonde and she wore far too much makeup to cover the shadows under her eyes and the lines that had already begun to dig themselves into her face.
That’s Kathryn down to a tee 😕
Other fantasy cast members include Anna Maxwell Martin (Becoming Jane), Tom Wilkinson (The Grand Budapest Hotel), and Brendan Gleeson (In Bruges).
To continue our People’s Choice Awards theme this week, if one post on Tuesday counts a theme, the photo Cleo chose to use to illustrate Jemma in Flickr album (which is how I found it) was from Kathryn’s appearance on the red of the event in January 2004. In fact she used the picture you see above.
You can see that photo, 35 others, and three videos in the KM UK Gallery.
Cleo Calliope’s story Pack is on FanFiction.net and photos of her proposed supporting cast can be seen on Flickr here.
 Awards season 2015 has started already with the Golden Globes having taken place at the weekend. Congratulations to all the winners.
British actors Eddie Redmayne (The Theory Of Everything) and Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey) took top honours in their respective categories. Fellow countrymen Felicity Jones(The Theory Of Everything) , Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley (The Imitation Game), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), and David Oyelowo (Selma) lost out in theirs.
Amongst those all gonged-up were Julianne Moore (Still Alice), Kevin Spacey (House Of Cards), Amy Adams (Big Eyes), Jeffrey Tambor (Transparent), Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Honourable Woman), the films Birdman and Boyhood; and TV shows Transparent, Fargo, The Affair, Jane The Virgin, and The Normal Heart.
But enough of all that nonsense. What’s important (on this site at least) is that Kathryn attended the People’s Choice Awards around this time of year back in 2010.
To mark that historic occasion I’ve updated the already extensive KM UK Gallery with 20 more photos of Kathryn on the red carpet, arriving at the event held at the Nokia Theatre, LA.
As I am sure you remember Kathryn wore a dark blue Pamella Roland dress for the evening, which included presenting two awards with actor Greg Grunberg (Alias). There are already photos and video of the pair on stage in the Gallery.
