Milk received eight nominations at the 81st Annual Academy Awards in 2009, including one for Danny Glicker for Best Achievement in Costume Design (whose work can also be seen in Up in the Air, Thank You For Smoking and Transamerica). 

Unfortunately he didn't win, but Dustin Lance Black won the Oscar for Best Writing: Screenplay written directly for the Screen and Sean Penn was awarded the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role for his amazing portrayal of 'Harvey Milk'.

The costume above is worn by Sean Penn during the Gay Freedom Pride Parade in San Francisco, where Harvey Milk took to the stage, to spread his message of equality and hope, even after receiving numerous death threats.

His t-shirt proudly affirms that "I'll never go back (in the closet)".

Beneath the costume is an array of campaign support literature props for Harvey Milk to become the first openly gay candidate for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

These are the red jacket and denim jeans worn by James Franco as 'Scott Smith', Harvey's ex-lover, at his memorial service.

Scooby-Doo's Mystery Machine van...

Even though this version of The Mystery Machine may not have actually featured in any live-action Scooby-Doo movies, it still looks fantastic on display at Universal Studios Hollywood and I couldn't resist featuring here on Hollywood Movie Costumes and Props.

The Mystery Machine van

A different version of the van featured in the live-action movie about Scooby and his teenage mystery-solving pals, but this version seems to be a replica of the original Hanna-Barbera cartoon incarnation of The Mystery Machine.

This fun looking vehicle was photographed on February 11, 2010 and is usually accompanied by 'Scooby-Doo' and his best pal 'Shaggy' as they entertain the crowds at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Prosthetic mask and creature maquette from Hellboy II: The Golden Army..

Ron Perlman was the man behind the titular red demon mask in both 2004's Hellboy and the 2008 sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

These are photographs of the actual facial prothetic that he (and various stunt men) wore to become 'Hellboy' in the second movie, along with a fantastic maquette of an elemental forest god featured in the movie.
