Mad Max: Fury Road wins at the Makeup & Hairstyling Guild

 

Mad Max: Fury Road took home two awards from the Makeup & Hairstyling guild Saturday night, for Best Period and/or Character Makeup and Best Special Makeup Effects. The second one is more crucial to its correlating Oscar nomination as the Oscars often go for the most elaborate makeup for its win. That said, Mad Max won against competition not up for the Oscar (that would be The Revenant and The 100-Year Old Man Who Climbed Out a Window and Disappeared) and the Oscars combine all makeup and hairstyling into a single award, versus five like the guild does. That race should prove to be very competitive.

In television miniseries, American Horror Story: Hotel destroyed all competition, winning every award it was nominated for, five in total. For regular series, Game of Thrones, Dancing with the Stars and The Walking Dead took home wins.

During the ceremony, Johnny Depp presented Lifetime Achievement Awards to Oscar-winning makeup artist Ve Neill (The Hunger Games, Face Off) and Oscar-winning hair stylist Yolanda Toussieng (Insurgent).
