Oscars 2019: Predicting All The Nominees

21. Makeup And Hairstyling

Mary Queen Of Scots Margot Robbie
Universal Pictures

The smallest category in that only a trio of movies can be nominated here, but there's still plenty of competition. This is often quite a broad contest, allowing movies that wouldn't otherwise be recognised to secure Oscar glory, i.e. Suicide Squad's shock victory a couple of years ago.

The shortlist has already whittled down to just seven films, including: Black Panther, Bohemian Rhapsody, Border, Mary Queen of Scots, Stan & Ollie, Suspiria, and Vice. Border and Suspiria were ignored by the Make-up & Hair Stylists' Guild, suggesting they won't get much love here (though Suspiria did get a Critics' Choice nomination). It's hard to imagine the transformative work on Vice will be ignored, and while it'd be good to see something like Stan & Ollie nominated, the work on Mary Queen of Scots and Bohemian Rhapsody is flashier.

Nominees:

Bohemian Rhapsody

Mary Queen Of Scots

Vice

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.
