Cos­tume design­er Mayes Rubio has an Acad­e­my Award nom­i­na­tion for her work on “JoJo Rab­bit,” which has already won her the prize for Excel­lence in Peri­od Film from the Cos­tume Design­ers Guild. It’s quite an accom­plish­ment for the Mex­i­can immi­grant who came to L.A. at the age of 20 and stud­ied at L.A.
