NOMINEES:

Birds of Prey

Hillbilly Elegy

Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

Mank

Pinocchio

Best Makeup and Hairstyling is a category which tends to nominate prestige films and more left-field blockbusters and arthouse pics alike, resulting in Suicide Squad's much-discussed win back in 2017.

The wild card pick here is undeniably Pinocchio, which while thoroughly deserving could very easily have its spot stolen by Emma, One Night in Miami, or perhaps most likely The Little Things, per the subtle yet eerily transformative makeup work applied to Jared Leto.

As long as Birds of Prey gets nominated, though, the Internet should be happy.
