Makeup and Hairstylists Guild Nominees

by Nathaniel R

Somehow in this very very very very overcrowded precursor award week, we missed the announcement of the Makeup and Hairstylists Guild nominations. The most curious thing to ponder is the differential between Oscar's makeup branch and this much-larger guild. While for the most part their lists are similar, Being the Ricardos scored two nominations here but did not make the 10-wide Oscar finalist list. The reverse was true of Nightmare Alley which was nowhere to be seen on this guild nomination list yet Oscar gave it the thumbs up in their first round of voting. West Side Story received only 1 nod here but made Oscar's list. (The complete shunning of both The French Dispatch and The Green Knight from this guild and Oscar's parallel branch feels absurd but awards season gonna awards season, you know?)

I found the makeup in the *early* part of Tammy Faye to be distracting at best, detrimental at worst. The prosthetics around Chastain's and Garfield's mouths and cheeks gave cartoonish proportions and also stunted the actors' full range to express the exuberance of young love.

Oddly enough, I found the makeup in the later parts much better, both because it seemed more balanced and because it seemed more age-appropriate.

Not nominating Tick tick boom in hairstyling is a choice
