The makeup category has three nominees each year. Which three of these seven do you think will make the cut?
If I were a guessing man, I’d say Les Mis, The Hobbit, and Lincoln. But then again, they do love biopics more than epics, so I could see Hitchcock bumping The Hobbit, though that would be one hell of a leap. That said, this is definitely one of the most high-visibility fields they’ve had, with the majority of the finalists being mainstream commercial successes.
