The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild (MUAHS, IATSE Local 706) has announced nominations for the 11th MUAHS Guild Awards, where Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 led with five mentions in the motion picture categories, followed by Maestro with three.

Despite those five nominations here, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 failed to earn a spot on the Oscar shortlist for Makeup and Hairstyling, one of the most surprising snubs of that announcement. Maestro did make the Oscar cut, along with Poor Things, Oppenheimer and Golda among today’s MUAH mentions.

In television, Dancing with the Stars, Saturday Night Live and The Marvelous Mrs Maisel led the nominations, with The Crown, The Bear, The Last of Us, Ahsoka, The Idol and Lessons in Chemistry all earning double nods.

As previously announced, Michael Westmore, Oscar and Emmy-winning make-up artist known for his iconic work on Rocky, Star Trek, Mask and Raging Bull, will be honored with the esteemed Vanguard Award. Kevin Haney, Oscar- and Emmy-winning make-up artist best known for his work on Driving Miss Daisy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Hocus Pocus 2; and Ora T. Green, Emmy-nominated hair stylist known for her work on Star Trek: Nemesis, Blade and Good Times, will receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Awards.

The MUAHS Awards represent a spectrum of outstanding achievements in 23 categories of make-up and hair styling artistry in motion pictures, television, commercials, music videos and live theater. Today’s announcement was made by Julie Socash, IATSE Local 706 President, presented by Ardell.

Winners will be honored at the awards gala on Sunday, February 18, 2024. Here is the full list of nominations.
