4th Make-Up Artists Guild Nominations

Once again, this group confounds us with nominating Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 in both the period/character categories and the contemporary categories. Clearly they like the movie. Strangely, that film didn’t make the shortlist with the Academy, so you can discard its chances. Of the ten films that did, only four of them show up here: Golda, Maestro, Oppenheimer, and Poor Things. Since three of those appear on their special make-up effects list, which is often the closest to predicting the Oscars, you can probably bet those three will make it. Oppenheimer seems like a safe bet as well. Unfortunately, picking out the final choice when it isn’t here won’t be easy, but at least we have a bit of guidance.
