The Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (IATSE Local 706) has revealed the nominees for its annual MUAHS Awards, with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 leading the feature competition with four nominations and Maestro close behind with three noms.
Disney/Marvel’s Guardians 3 earned noms in the categories for contemporary makeup, period and/or character makeup, period hairstyling and/or character hairstyling and special makeup effects. Bradley Cooper’s Netflix Leonard Bernstein drama Maestro collected noms for period and/or character makeup, period hairstyling and/or character hair styling and special makeup effects.
The MUAHS Guild’s feature nominees vary quite bit from this season’s Oscar shortlist for the category. In fact, Guardians 3 was already snubbed in the makeup and hairstyling Oscar race, failing to make the shortlist of 10 films that advanced to the upcoming branch bake-off.
The films shortlisted for the makeup and hairstyling Oscar are Maestro; Poor Things, which has two MUAHS noms; Golda and Oppenheimer, which collected one Guild nom apiece; and Beau Is Afraid, Ferrari, Killers of the Flower Moon, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Napoleon and Society of the Snow, all of which failed to earn a single Guild nom.
Non-shortlisted movies that received two MUAHS noms apiece include Barbie, Candy Cane Lane, NYAD and Saltburn.
Series that earned multiple Guild noms include Ahsoka, The Bear, The Crown, The Idol, The Last of Us and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. A tie in the nomination voting resulted in six noms in the category for TV special makeup effects, which went to Ahsoka, The Fall of the House of Usher, The Last of Us, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Star Trek: Picard and The Witcher.
The MUAHS Awards have an uneven track record for predicting the eventual Academy Award winner for makeup and hairstyling. A year ago, The Whale won the category Oscar and one MUAHS Guild Award, for special makeup effects. In 2022, The Eyes of Tammy Faye won the Oscar but was shut out at the MUAHS Awards; and in 2021, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom collected the Academy Award and two Guild awards.
The complete list of the 2024 MUAHS Guild Awards nominees follows.
