AWARDS BEAT
"Bombshell" / Lionsgate
The make-up and hair artists who made Charlize Theron look like Megyn Kelly and Nicole Kidman look like Gretchen Carlson were the big winners at the 7th Annual Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards, which took place on Saturday evening in Los Angeles.
“Bombshell,” Jay Roach’s film about the women at Fox News who called out Roger Ailes for sexual misconduct, won in three of the five categories, taking awards for contemporary make-up, contemporary hair styling and special make-up effects. “Joker” won the award for period and/or character make-up, while “Downton Abbey” took the prize for period/character hair styling.
All three of those films are on the Oscar shortlist for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, with “Bombshell” the clear favorite for a nomination and win. (The Academy refers to the disciplines as makeup and hairstyling, one word each, while the guild hyphenates make-up and splits hair styling into two words.)
For the last six consecutive years, the winner in the MUAHS’ period and/or character make-up category has gone on to win the Oscar — and for the last two years, that film has also won the special make-up effects category. This year, though, “Joker” won the first category and “Bombshell” the second.
In the television categories, MUAHS wins went to “Big Little Lies” and “Fosse/Verdon,” each of which won awards for make-up and for hair, and “Chernobyl,” which won for special make-up effects. “Saturday Night Live” won three awards, while “Dancing With the Stars,” “Deadwood: The Movie,” “The Real” and “A Series of Unfortunate Events” also won.
“Pose” was honored for its commercials and promo campaign, while theatrical awards went to “Cats” and “Hamilton.”
The ceremony took place at the NOVO by Microsoft at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles and was hosted by MUAHS president Julie Socash and business representative Randy Sayer.
Actor Patrick Stewart received the guild’s Distinguished Artisan Award, while Lifetime Achievement Awards went to make-up artist Thomas Burman and hair stylist Martin Samuel.
