Last month, Jenny Beavan got another invitation for the annual Oscar nominees luncheon. She's a nine time Oscar nominee and has seen her share of fancy meals prior to award shows. But her name may not ring a bell. In fact, no bells are ever rung when people mention her name because she is not a star. Mrs. Beavan works behind the scenes of the movie industry and has one of the most important roles in it. She is a Costume Designer. Her latest nomination was given for her work on The King's Speech.Costume designers are often in charge of delivering the nuance and "feel" of the time period. One of the most challenging aspects of the job is to achieve an accurate description of all the finest details of the costume. And among the most crucial is choosing the right watch. Since most period movies depict the lives of the rich aristocrats, designers often choose between the Rolex, Cartier, Patek Philippe and other exclusive brands. And it is rarely an easy choice to make. Blogs dedicated to Rolex Watches or IWC watches from around the world are posting exactly what characters wear their brand and if it doesn't make sense it could cost the designer their next job. In an interview with Clothes on film.com, costume designer Jeffery Kurland discusses his work on Inception:"The style and cut of the clothes worn by each actor is meant to serve the emotional mindset and the physical action of that role. In the case of Eames and Fischer, the style of their clothes helped to bring their characters to life visually and at the same time, use the physical attributes brought by each actor."Most of the work on movie sets is done well before the production starts. Designers work closely with producers and directors in studios, offices and locations. They all prepare the look and feel of the movie and have all the costumes done by the time the first star steps into the set. Some costume designers have gained a reputation for their style and success. Mad Men designer Janie Bryant has already published a style book based on the show's vintage costumes. Others are likely to follow. One way to tell a good character's style is to glance at the watch on their wrist. It can tell a lot about a person and it can definitely tell more about a character.Let's take a look at some of the most famous characters and the watches they wore: From Russia With Love (1963) Actor: Sean Connery Watch: Rolex Submariner 6538 http://watchesinmovies.info/img/m/FromRussiaWithLove-RolexBiffo.jpgCourage Under Fire (1996) Actor: Denzel Washington Watch: Rolex Submariner http://watchesinmovies.info/img/m/CourageFire_rolex2.jpgLaw Abiding Citizen (2009) Actor: Regina Hall Watch: CartierKnight And Day (2010) Actor: Cameron Diaz Watch: Rolex SubmarinerKillers (2010) Actor: Katherine Heigl Watch: Cartier
