This is the second year for the Makeup and Hairstylists Guild joining the awards game, and they've been a welcome addition to the circuit. They spread their nods thin across a number of categories, but it's a good window into what this branch digs, for sure.
This year, the only two films on the Academy's bake-off list of finalists that didn't garner any recognition were “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” and “Noah.” Meaning “Foxcatcher,” “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Maleficent” and “The Theory of Everything” were each represented in one form or another.
Meanwhile, “Guardians of the Galaxy” led with the most mentions at three, while “The Grand Budapest Hotel,” “Interstellar” and “Into the Woods” each got a pair.
As previously announced, Oscar-winning make-up artist Rick Baker and Emmy-nominated hair stylist Kathryn Blondell will receive the Guild's Lifetime Achievement Awards.
Check out the full list of nominees below, and remember to follow along at The Circuit.
Winners will be announced at the 2015 Makeup and Hairstylists Guild Awards will be held on Feb. 15.
