The Associated Press

The racy wardrobe Julia Roberts wore in "Erin Brockovich" helped the film win an award for best costume design from Hollywood's Costume Designers Guild.

"Erin Brockovich" costume designer Jeffrey Kurland won the guild's honor for contemporary films. The other nominated films were "Charlie's Angels," "High Fidelity," "Traffic" and "X-men."

The guild gave its award for period or fantasy films to Rita Ryack, costume designer for "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas." Other nominees were "Almost Famous," "Chocolat" and "Quills."

Patricia Field won best costume design for contemporary television for "Sex and the City." The TV period or fantasy honor went to Hope Hanafin, costume designer for the television movie "Geppetto."

Saturday's awards show also honored Warren Beatty, who received the guild's distinguished directors award for use of "extraordinary costume design in film."

"Crowe was not being rewarded for his performance in Gladiator, but rather his LAC, Insider, and Gladiator put together. Tom Hanks is going to win the oscar next year for Road to Perdition, Sam Mendez is no fluke. If you wanna whine about something winning that didn't deserve it, complain about Gladiator for best picture. Traffic wins oscars for directing, screenplay,and editing, not to mention del toro's for supporting actor and the SAG award for best ensemble. Why vote for Gladiator over Traffic when it wins the other awards? "
