Oscar shortlists will be revealed on December 21, giving us the 10 finalists for Makeup and Hairstyling, and members of the branch who attend special screenings cast preferential ballots with the top 10 vote-getters moving on to the second stage. Those members from the first stage and any other members who either attend screenings of excerpts from these semi-finalists or attest that they have seen them cast preferential ballots and the top five films are Oscar-nominated.
