2021 Oscar Predictions: MAKEUP and HAIRSTYLING (October)
With word that Coming 2 America is planning a somewhat surprising 2020 bow (after Paramount sold it off to Amazon) and is apparently chock full of enough makeup and bodysuits to fill out multiple Norbit sequels, the Eddie Murphy starrer makes a huge debut on this month’s chart.
Hillbilly Elegy moves up the #1 spot after the first trailer dropped this week and new entries include The Witches (if HBO Max can squeeze eligibility) and the new Cinderella starring Camila Cabello and Billy Porter set for February.
