The Makeup Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards spread the wealth in its feature categories, with Suicide Squad, Star Trek Beyond, La La Land, Hail, Caesar! and Nocturnal Animals receiving one award apiece.

Suicide Squad and Star Trek Beyond  are nominated for the Oscar in makeup and hair styling, alongside Sweden’s A Man Called Ove, which is also an Academy Award contender in the best foreign language film category.

In television, the wins were dominated by two American Story shows from FX: American Horror Story: Roanoke and The People v O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.
