The acronym MUAHS always amused us since it sounds like a goofy platonic kiss --“Mwahh!” Perhaps that’s appropriate since Make Up involves many pairs of lips. The Makeup and Hairstylists Guild, an organization about 2100 members wide, have announced their nominees for 2019 in movies and television and theatre. The gala where the winners will be announced is on Saturday, January 11, 2020. “Bombshell” and “Rocketman” lead the movie portion of the awards...
MOTION PICTURE CATEGORIES
CONTEMPORARY MAKE-UP
Avengers: End Game John Blake, Francisco Perez
Bombshell Vivian Baker, Cristina Waltz, Richard Redlefsen
Hustlers Margot Boccia, Roxanne Rizzo
John Wick: Parabellum Stephen M. Kelley, Anna Stachow
Us Scott Wheeler, Tym Shutchai Buacharern, Sabrina Castro
Great choices at first glance! These are almost the same nominations in “contemporary hairstyling a little further down so maybe they didn’t screen very many films. Two notable films that didn’t make the cut are A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood and Marriage Story.
PERIOD AND/OR CHARACTER MAKE-UP
Downton Abbey Anne Nosh Oldham, Elaine Browne, Sam Smart
Dolemite is My Name Vera Steimberg, Debra Denson, Deborah Huss-Humphries
Joker Nicki Ledermann, Tania Ribalow, Sunday Englis
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Heba Thorisdottir, Gregory Funk
Rocketman Lizzie Yianni Georgiou, Tapio Salmi, Laura Solari
More strong choices. Some high profile period films that were shut out entirely (no hairstyling or other nods either include Harriet, Judy, The Lighthouse, and JoJo Rabbit.
SPECIAL MAKE-UP EFFECTS
Bombshell Kazu Hiro, Vivian Baker, Richard Redlefsen
Captain Marvel Brian Sipe, Alexei Dmitriew, Sabrina Wilson
It Chapter Two Sean Sansom, Shane Zander, Iantha Goldberg
Rocketman Barrie Gower, Lizzie Yianni Georgiou, Victoria Money
The Irishman Mike Marino, Mike Fontaine, Carla White
We assume The Irishman’s honor here is the old age makeup rather than the CGI facework which would be a weird thing to honor. But where is MidSommar? I don’t even like the latter but come on now.
CONTEMPORARY HAIR STYLING
Bombshell Anne Morgan, Jaime Leigh McIntosh, Adruitha Lee
Hustlers Angel De Angelis, Dierdre Harris
John Wick: Parabellum Kerrie Smith, Therese Ducey
Joker Kay Georgiou, Vanessa Anderson
The Laundromat Marie Larkin, Yvette Stone, J. Roy Helland
That Roy Helland. He’s always being honored for Streep’s coiff! Obviously Bombshell and Hustlers are competitive her for the win.
PERIOD AND/OR CHARACTER HAIR STYLING
Downton Abbey Anne Nosh Oldham, Elaine Browne, Marc Pilcher
Dolemite is My Name Carla Joi Farmer, Stacey Morris, Linda Villalobos
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil Audrey Futterman-Stern
Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood Janine Rath-Thompson, Michelle Diamantides
Rocketman Lizzie Yianni Georgiou, Tapio Salmi, Laura Solari
No honors for Timothee Chalamet’s bowl-cut in The King? We did. Naturally the period / character honors are super competitive each year (it’s basically everything that’s not “contemporary”

We don’t really understand this prize because there’s no indication as to where these productions are. Are they national tours, Los Angeles only theater event/situations? They definitely aren’t Broadway show nominations since none of these shows are currently on Broadway.

The snub for the team from Judy who transformed Renée Zellweger into Garland is surprising
Nathaniel, how was Bombshell? I know you're embargoed but can you share your thoughts? How are the three blonde divas?
Michael -- it's really involving! the actresses are great --Nicole is the catalyst for the plot but it's really the Charlize & Margot show since Nicole is offscreen for most of it. I know people think Charzlie might win but I think Margot might instead if the movie is a hit.
One reason I think Charlize might win is probably her movie being better and grabbing other noms,I don't know if she is liked or beloved and that helps sometimes with a second win.
So obviously Charlize and John have the most transformations but is Nicole wearing a prosthetic chin? That is Gretchen large ass chin lol
It's November 12th. Why are awards bodies doing this already? There are still 1.5 months left with unseen films.
Patrick -- Nicole is definitely wearing a prosthetic chin, yes.
Arlo -- everyone moved their dates up with the Oscars so damn early this year.
If worthy I wonder if they’ll nominate Star Wars and 1917 or Cats next year.
So creepy that Charlize photo.
I agree with Me. We should ban this f*cking photo, it’s triggering as hell.
I tink Judy was snubbed cos the Hair n Makeup team is not members o MUAHS guild??
But metink they will still get in at the Oscars cos all will vote on the nominees?? 😁
