‘Guardians,’ ‘Grand Budapest’ big winners with Makeup and Hairstylists Guild

The Makeup and Hairstylists Guild is well-established on the circuit in the organization's second year of doling out top honors for hair and makeup work across the fields of film, television and theater. The 2015 ceremony Saturday night saw wins for “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Birdman” and “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” among others.

At the Oscars, “Guardians” is up against “Foxcatcher” and “The Grand Budapest Hotel.” The latter won a pair of prizes, as did “Guardians.”
