‘The Batman,’ ‘Elvis’ Lead Make-up and Hair Styling Nominations

“Pam & Tommy” is the most nominated television show for the annual MUAHS Guild Awards

"Elvis" (Warner Bros.)

“The Batman” and “Elvis” led all films in nominations for the 2023 Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards, MUAHS (IATSE Local 706) President Julie Socash announced on Wednesday.

Those two films received three nominations in the five feature-film categories, while “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “The Menu,” “Amsterdam,” “Babylon,” “Blonde” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” each received two.  

The film nominees included seven of the films on the 10-film Oscar shortlist in the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category: “Amsterdam,” “Babylon,” “The Batman,” “Black Panther,” “Blonde,” “Elvis” and “The Whale.” An additional three films – “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Crimes of the Future” and “Emancipation” – were shortlisted by the Academy but not nominated by the guild.

Last year, all five Oscar nominees previously received multiple nominations from MUAHS. (The guild hyphenates make-up and separates hair styling into two words, while the Oscars treat them both as single words.)

In the television categories, the limited series “Pam & Tommy” received three nominations, while “Abbott Elementary,” “Emily in Paris,” “Bridgerton” and “Stranger Things” received two each.

The guild also announced nominations in daytime television, children’s television, commercials and music videos and theatrical production categories.

Winners will be announced at the 2023 MUAHS Guild Awards, which will take place on Feb. 11 at the Beverly Hilton. Actress and comedian Melissa Peterman will host.

Here is the list of nominated films and shows. A complete list with the names of nominated make-up artists and hair stylists is available at the MUAHS website.
