Borat Subsequent MovieFilm

Apologies that we missed this announcement but the Makeup and Hairstylist Guild announced their nominees this past week. It's an interesting peek at what the makeup professionals in the industry think since it's not super reflective of what the Academy's smaller makeup branch thinks given that FOUR of Oscar's ten finalists (The Glorias, One Night in Miami, Emma, and The Little Things) are nowhere to be found. Other films that makeup and hair artists clearly did like such as Mulan, Bill & Ted Face the Music, The Prom, Promising Young Woman, and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm somehow all missed Oscar's finals.

The categories with six nominees in the list after the jump are due to ties in voting...

MOTION PICTURE – Best Contemporary Make-Up 

Oscar voters liked Harley Quinn a few years back. Will they love her all over again?

Only one of these films, Birds of Prey, made the Oscar finals... reminding us yet again that Oscar really does have a problem with comtemporary films in their craft categories (it's not just costume design)

MOTION PICTURE – Best Period and/or Character Make-Up

Mulan is of marrying age

Still shocked that Mulan -- which had amazing makeup work which we loved talking about with Denise Kum -- didn't make Oscar's finals.  

MOTION PICTURE – Best Special Make-Up Effects

Pinnocchio, via Italy

Another category wherein most of the nominees didn't make Oscar's finals (only Hilbilly Elegy and Pinnochio did) 

MOTION PICTURE – Best Contemporary Hair Styling

We're still pissed that Promising Young Woman didn't make the Oscar finalists for hair and makeup

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

It'd be an empy world without the blues... and Ma Rainey

Here we finally have a category that aligns with Oscar tastes. All of these made the finals except Mulan
