‘Blade Runner,’ ‘Wonder,’ ‘Twin Peaks,’ ‘American Horror Story’ top Makeup and Hair Stylist Guild nominations
The Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (MUAHS, IATSE Local 706) have announced nominations for outstanding achievements in motion pictures, television, commercials and live theater during 2017.
Blade Runner 2049, Darkest Hour and Wonder were the top nominees in film with three nominations apiece. The Big Sick, Pitch Perfect 3, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and I, Tonya earned two. The Oscar shortlist for Makeup and Hairstyling include Darkest Hour, Wonder, Bright and Ghost in the Shell (which both earned a nom here), Victoria and Abdul and I, Tonya.
Twin Peaks: The Return, Game of Thrones, Dancing with the Stars and American Horror Story: Cult were top nominees in television and interestingly, the MUAHs chose to nominate Mudbound on the television side instead of in the motion picture categories. Also, Ghost in the Shell and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 were both nominated in Contemporary in the absence of a Fantasy slot.
Winners will be honored at the black-tie annual MUAHS Guild Awards ceremony on Saturday, February 24, 2018 at The Novo by Microsoft at L.A. Live, hosted by Comedienne Loni Love. The announcement was made today by MUAHS President Sue Cabral-Ebert.
