ICYMI: Makeup and Hairstylists Guild Winners

by Nathaniel R

Mike Marino, who assisted Rick Baker for years, working on prosthetics for Coming 2 America

The Make-Up and Hair Stylists Guild held their awards this past Saturday so you might have already heard who won. The big winner was Amazon's Coming 2 America which won three prizes: Contemporary Makeup, Contemporary Hairstyling, and (most surprisingly given the competition) Special Effects Makeup. This does not necessarily mean it's going to win the Oscar as it has formidable competition from Cruella and Dune and the voting body is different. The winners are after the jump...

FILM

MOTION PICTURE Best Contemporary Make-Up

• Black Widow
• ★ Coming 2 America
• Don’t Look Up
• No Time to Die
• The Suicide Squad

The only film to win both this prize and the Oscar was Bombshell (2019). If the Coming 2 America teams goes on to win the Oscar it will be the second year in a row when the prize went to a team that was two-thirds African-Americans. That would not be noteworthy to type out in and of itself except that last year was the first time ever that African-Americans were nominated at the Oscars in that particular category!  

MOTION PICTURE Best Period and/or Character Make-Up

• Being the Ricardos
• ★ Cruella
• Dune
• House of Gucci
• The Eyes of Tammy Faye

The winner of this category often goes on to win the Oscar. Past examples have included Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020), Vice (2018), Darkest Hour (2017), Suicide Squad (2016), Mad Max Fury Road (2015), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), Dallas Buyers Club (2013)

MOTION PICTURE Best Special Make-Up Effects 

• ★ Coming 2 America
• Dune
• House of Gucci
• The Eyes of Tammy Faye
• The Suicide Squad

This is a big get for Coming 2 America which is not a visual effects movie or a biopic (the kind of films that usually win this category) - Vulture has a good piece on the prosthetics work on this film. The past years when Oscar and MUAHS have shared the winner of 'special makeup effects' are Bombshell (2019), Vice (2018), Darkest Hour (2017), and Mad Max Fury Road (2015).

MOTION PICTURE Best Contemporary Hair Styling

• ★ Coming 2 America
• In The Heights
• No Time to Die
• The Matrix Resurrections
• The Suicide Squad

MOTION PICTURE Best Period Hair Styling and/or Character Hair Styling

• ★ Being the Ricardos
• Cruella
• House of Gucci
• The Eyes of Tammy Faye
• West Side Story

Hilariously the winner, Being the Ricardos, was the only one of these that did not make the Oscar finals in this category.

It's a reminder that Guild Awards have different voting bodies than the Academy though the internet often likes to conflate the two suggesting that all Guild members are Academy members (which is very much untrue). Guilds have hundreds to tens of thousands of working members (depending on the guild) while each Academy branch has a much smaller group of voters since the whole Academy has only 10,700 members across all disciplines.

So many of these prizes are a reminder of why Makeup and Hairstyling don't have separate categories at the Oscars. As with Sound Mixing and Sound Editing (now conjoined with Oscars), the guilds themselves don't often seem able to differentiate between the two even though it's literally their profession! Note that in almost all cases here whatever won Best Makeup also won Best Hairstyling. And Saturday Night Live somehow won Period, Contemporary, and Special Effects Makeup... suggesting that maybe they need to work a little harder in differentiating their category eligibility requirements.

[Emily Sarah]

Best Way to Get Your Ex Lover Back Fast Even If Your Situation Seems Hopeless!. I just got my husband back through the help of genuine love spell caster Lord Zuma. My name is Emily Sarah am from Tx,USA. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called Lord Zuma, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 12 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 12 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. thanks to Lord Zuma . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Lord Zuma for help now..
