Academy Awards 2010 Best Makeup Nominees
IL Divo, Star Trek and The Young Victoria Compete for Best Makeup
So many important awards are easily overlooked each year at the Oscars. We all want to know who is going to win Best Actress, or which film earns the coveted title of Best Picture. While I do understand it’s easiest for us to relate to the celebrities on screen, there would be no movie without the crew, costumers and of course makeup artists behind the scenes. Naturally, the “Best Achievement in Makeup” has always been the award I look forward to the most.
Tomorrow, three Makeup Departments will be up for the golden statue. Take a minute to learn a little about each one before the big show!!
The Young Victoria starring Emily Blunt is one of the three films nominated for Best Makeup Already a BAFTA winner, this film appears to be the one to beat. Jenny Shircore, the film’s Makeup Department Head, has also won an Academy Award for the movie Elizabeth in 1998. She seems to be a master of period films and always keeps the makeup very authentic to it’s time.

Barney Burman, Joel Harlow and Mindy Hall are nominated for their makeup in last year’s Star Trek. This is the first Oscar nomination for all three artists! I must say, Spock’s skin and eyebrows (above) look divine 
.
Makeup artists Aldo Signoretti and Vittorio Sodano transformed actor Toni Servillo into former Italian Prime Minister, Giulio Andreotti in Il Divo. Both makeup artists were nominated in 2006 for Apocalypto and Vittorio Sodano was nominated in 2001′s Moulin Rouge.
So who will the Academy Award go to? Be sure to watch tomorrow, March 7, 2010 on ABC.
