AWARDS BEAT
Paramount Pictures
Five different films, including Oscar nominees “Star Trek Beyond” and “Suicide Squad,” won awards on Sunday night at the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards.
“Suicide Squad” won the award for period and/or character makeup, while “Star Trek Beyond” won for best special makeup effects. The latter category was the only one in which two of the three Oscar nominees for Best Makeup and Hairstyling went head to head; the third Oscar nominee, “A Man Called Ove,” was not nominated by MUAHS.
(In addition to disagreeing on nominees, the Academy and the guild disagree on punctuation: AMPAS goes with “makeup and hairstyling,” while MUAHS prefers “make-up and hair styling.”)
Other feature films to win awards on Sunday were “La La Land” (contemporary hair styling), “Nocturnal Animals” (contemporary make-up) and “Hail, Caesar!” (period and/or character hair styling).
In the TV categories, Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story: Roanoke” and “The People v. O.J. Simpson” won five awards between them, and Murphy was also given the MUAHS Distinguished Artisan Award.
Other winners included “Westworld” and “Game of Thrones,” each of which won two awards, as well as “Dancing With the Stars” and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again.”
The ceremony took place at The Novo by Microsoft at L.A. Live and was hosted by comedian Loni Love. Lifetime achievement awards went to makeup artist Leonard Engleman and hair stylist Barbara Lorenz.

25 Movie Stars Who Were Completely Transformed by Makeup or CGI for a Role (Photos)
You'd be forgiven for not realizing that the villain in "X-Men: Apocalypse" is played by none other than Oscar Isaac, given all the blue makeup that is caked on his face. But he's not the first, nor will he be the last, star to be completely transformed on the big screen, which traditionally came via makeup but is increasingly created by state-of-the-art performance-capture technology.
Oscar Isaac is the big bad Apocalypse in "X-Men: Apocalypse," uglifying him in a way we never thought possible.
Eddie Murphy has done a lot of transformative roles, including in "The Nutty Professor" and the infamous "Norbit," which was thought to cost him an Oscar for "Dreamgirls."
John Leguizamo embodied one of the most terrifying looking movie clowns ever in "Spawn."

Charlize Theron took on the role of Aileen Wuornos in "Monster" with both an actual transformation of her body as well as stellar makeup work to top it off. Theron won the Best Actress Oscar for the performance.

A lot of folks watched "Tropic Thunder" without ever realizing Tom Cruise was in it, even while his character, the devious film agent Les Grossman, stole the show.

Tim Curry plays the evil Lord of Darkness in the Ridley Scott fantasy "Legend" and, well, you can see from the picture exactly how traumatic that was for everyone who watched it. In a good way, of course.

Gary Oldman appeared in the film "Hannibal" as the horribly mutilated Mason Verger, and we were none the wiser.
MGM/Getty Images
Maybe the most shocking transformation on this list, actress Glenn Close popped up briefly in Steven Spielberg's "Hook" as a bearded male pirate.

Of course this list had to include John Hurt starring in David Lynch's 1980 film "The Elephant Man," about the famously deformed 19th century Englishman. The Academy Awards created the "Makeup and Hairstyling" award in 1981 because of this movie.

Unlike the other folks on this list, Andy Serkis is really best known for his motion capture performances. Gollum in the "Lord of the Rings" films was the big one, but he's been remarkable beneath a CGI overlay a number of other times, including "King Kong" and the two most recent "Planet of the Apes" films. Oh, and let's not forget his appearance as Supreme Leader Snoke in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

The legacy of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequels probably lies entirely with Bill Nighy's incredible Davy Jones at this point.

June's "Warcraft" movie has a lot of people playing big green orcs with tusks, including Clancy Brown as Blackhand (pictured).

Johnny Depp's goofy prosthetic nose pops up right in the middle of Kevin Smith's "Tusk" and now it's all anyone remembers about that movie.

"Sin City" is best remembered for its wild style of CGI, but it also contained some excellent makeup on star Mickey Rourke.
Miramax/Getty Images
The emotionless blue visage of Dr. Manhattan in "Watchmen" had a real face underneath: Billy Crudup's, in fact.
Warner Bros/Getty Images
"I, Robot" contained a lot of identical looking CGI robots, but one of them, Sonny, was powered by none other than Alan Tudyk.

Usually, performance capture is something we see in big budget, serious movies, but Seth Rogen as the titular stoner alien in the R-rated comedy "Paul" is a rare exception.
Yes, Smaug the dragon in those "Hobbit" movies was a performance capture role, with Benedict Cumberbatch actually acting as the dragon.
New Line/Getty Images
"John Carter" has been mostly forgotten for everything it did aside from being a huge box office flop, but, hey, it's important to remember that time Willem Dafoe played a CGI Martian.
