Michelle Dockery was in the middle of filming the final season of Downton Abbey in 2015 when the script for TNT’s Good Behavior came across her desk. Well-known to many by then as the polished Lady Mary on Downton, Dockery was already seeking her next project -- only she wasn’t expecting it to be in such stark contrast to the role she had nestled into for more than five years.
“I was very fortunate when it came along,” Dockery, 34, tells Et. “I wasn’t consciously looking for something so vastly different.”
In Good Behavior, which premieres Tuesday, Dockery inhabits the complicated Letty Dobesh, a recovering drug addict, con artist and mother to a 10-year-old son, who gets entangled with a charming hitman hired to kill a man’s wife. On paper, Letty has clear distinctions from Lady Mary, but Dockery saw similarities in both female characters.

Finally the Cdg nominations have been announced, and while they right some of the wrongs made by Oscar and chiefly BAFTA, ample opportunity to reward some really creative and effective costume design has once again been overlooked.
We have indicated at length our views on the Academy and BAFTA’s nominations (Here and Here) so in the interests of not sounding like a broken record we shall stick to the facts. Well, perhaps just the odd observation… Nominations below:
Excellence in Contemporary Film
Beasts of the Southern Wild – Stephani Lewis
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel – Louise Stjernsward
Silver Linings Playbook – Mark Bridges

Zero Dark Thirty – George L. Little
(Sorry, but at least one of these choices is just plain bizarre. Thumbs up for Zero Dark Thirty though)

"The King's Speech" beat "The Fighter" and "True Grit" in the Excellence in Period Film Category. "Black Swan" out-danced "Burlesque," "Inception," "The Social Network," and "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" in the Excellence in Contemporary Film category.
In the Excellence in Fantasy Film category, "Alice in Wonderland" waved its magic spell to beat "The Tempest" and "Tron: Legacy."
"Sex and the City's" Kristin Davis hosted the event at Beverly Hilton last night, where Halle Berry received the Lacoste Spotlight Award, and director Joel Schumacher accepted the Distinguished Collaborator Award.

So, the Costume Designers Guild (Cdg) has served up their nominations for this year. Apart from falling short on numbers in a couple of categories, the line-up is predictably safe.
Excellence in Contemporary Film
Black Swan – Amy Westcott
Burlesque – Michael Kaplan
Inception – Jeffrey Kurland
The Social Network – Jacqueline West
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps – Ellen Mirojnick
There has been recent hoopla in the press regarding Rodarte’s overall involvement with the costume design for Black Swan, though the Costume Designers Guild will be unlikely to run scared. Shouldn’t The Social Network strictly be in the Period category, however? Jacqueline West went to extraordinary lengths to ensure the film was historically accurate, something often harder to achieve when the setting is recent.

The Fighter – Mark Bridges
The King’s Speech – Jenny Beavan
