Oscars 2017: Who Should Win Every Award (And Who Actually Will)

22. Achievement In Makeup And Hairstyling

Oscars Casey Affleck Denzel Washington
Paramount Pictures

Nominees: A Man Called Ove, Star Trek Beyond, Suicide Squad

Who Should Win

Star Trek Beyond.

Star Trek beyond is quite showy in the makeup department, but it pays off by doing a great job of creating its new alien creatures, which must've taken some truly painstaking work. Trek often excels in this area, creating creatures that stand out but don't feel random or just there to look cool, and Beyond is another example of that.

Who Will Win

A Man Called Ove.

It's probably a toss-up between this and Star Trek, because there's surely no way they're giving an Oscar to Suicide Squad (which is also the least deserving of the three). The ageing work in the film is excellent, and it's the kind of work that the Academy likes to recognise, and there's a good chance they'll choose this over the blockbuster.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
