On December 21, the Academy will reveal the shortlist of 10 contenders who will be eligible to compete for a nomination for Makeup and Hairstyling. Last year, The Eyes of Tammy Faye took this home with its star Jessica Chastain winning Best Actress. This category, especially when involving significant prosthetics and transformations, has had a very healthy relationship with Oscars’ lead acting categories, which also includes Dallas Buyers Club (Matthew McConaughey), Darkest Hour (Gary Oldman), and The Iron Lady (Meryl Streep). This year has a clear leader in The Whale, with Brendan Fraser as the Best Actor frontrunner.
But The Whale isn’t the only prosthetics-heavy contender, we’ll also have The Batman with Colin Farrell’s Penguin, Elvis with layers of makeup and fat suit on Tom Hanks and possibly the transformational work in Blonde with Ana de Armas in turning her into Marilyn Monroe.
Here are my 2023 Oscar predictions in Makeup and Hairstyling for October.
