Entertainment award
TheAcademy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling is theAcademy Award given to the best achievement in makeup and hairstyling for film. Traditionally, three films have been nominated each year with exceptions in the early 1980s and 2002 when there were only two nominees; in 1999, when there were four nominees. Beginning with the92nd Academy Awards , five films were nominated.[ 1]
The competitive category was created in 1981 as theAcademy Award for Best Makeup , after the academy received complaints that the makeup work inThe Elephant Man The Elephant Man , an entire category dedicated to honoring makeup effects in film was created for subsequent ceremonies. Previously, makeup artists were only eligible for special achievement awards for their work.
Ahead of nominations, a shortlist of titles is chosen by the makeup branch's executive committee and clips are screened by the members of the branch at an annual "bake-off." After only two films were shortlisted in 2002, rules were installed requiring that seven finalists be chosen each year with the top three becoming nominees. Beginning in 2020, the shortlist expanded from seven finalists to ten.[ 1]
In 2012, the category was given its current name for use in the85th Academy Awards and onward.[ 2] [ 3] Rick Baker holds the record for both most wins (7) and most nominations (11) for this award.
Special Achievement Awards [ edit ] Before 1981, Special Achievement Oscars were twice awarded to makeup artists for their work on a specific film:
Starting in 1993, the award is to be shared with hairstylists if hair effects "contribute greatly to the appearance and effect of the characters".[ 6]
