What Should Win: The Eyes of Tammy Faye

Love or hate the movie, it's tough to argue with Linda Dowds, Stephanie Ingram, and Justin Raleigh's spectacular work transforming the luminous Jessica Chastain into the film's titular televangelist, who she looks absolutely nothing like in reality.

There's certainly some solid work scattered among the field this year - especially Dune - but nothing that can really stand up against the drastic nature of Chastain's transformation.

What Will Win: The Eyes of Tammy Faye

The Academy loves to reward makeup that successfully transforms actors beyond recognition without compromising their physical performance, and Tammy Faye is really the only nominee that's built up a real "narrative" with awards voters throughout this Oscar season.

Boosted by Chastain's probable Best Actress win, it's basically a lock.
