Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence in Period/Fantasy Film

{{Short description|Discontinued CDG film award}}The Costume Designers Guild Award for Excellence in Period/Fantasy Film was presented annually by the Costume Designers Guild from 1999 to 2004. The category recognized outstanding costume design in both period and fantasy films.

In 1998, the Guild introduced a single award category titled Excellence in Film, in which all films competed regardless of genre. Among the inaugural nominees, three were period dramas, while The Truman Show (1998) was the only contemporary-set nominee. The winner that year was Pleasantville (1998), a fantasy film. Beginning with the 1999 ceremony, the Guild divided the award into two categories: Excellence in Contemporary Film and Excellence in Period/Fantasy Film. In 2005, the latter was further separated into two distinct categories: Excellence in Period Film and Excellence in Fantasy Film, each recognizing achievement within its respective genre.{{Cite web |title=Awards Information - Costume Designers Guild, I.A.T.S.E.
