2019 Makeup and Hairstylist Guild Awards
This weekend was The Makeup and Hairstyling Guild Awards (MUAH) which honors the best in film and television brought to you by IATSE Local 708. It's basically the Oscars for hair and makeup artists. The MUAHS were actually handed out one day after the Academy reversed its decision to hand out the Oscar for Makeup and Hairstyling during commercial breaks. The Academy had previously said it planned to present that award as well as the statuettes for cinematography, film editing, live Action Short during breaks, then play the acceptance speeches later in the broadcast, but reversed course amid intense criticism.
Melissa McCarthy, nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for her work in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, received the MUAHS Distinguished Artisan Award, celebrating her career and the wide range of characters she’s portrayed. She is the first female artist to receive the award, which presented by hair stylist Linda Flowers, a collaborator on McCarthy’s numerous characters for many years.
Sue Cabral-Ebert, outgoing IATSE Local 706 president and award-winning makeup artist, was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award for makeup presented longtime friend and actress Linda Gray. Emmy-winning hair stylist Robert Louis Stevenson received a Lifetime Achievement Award for hair styling from Margaret Avery, his stylist on The Color Purple and The Jackson’s: An American Dream.
A handful of films picked up multiple nominations, including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Crazy Rich Asians,” “Stan & Ollie,” “A Star Is Born” and “Vice.” On the television side, “American Horror Story: Apocalypse” led the way with four nominations, plus two more for promotional content. Other nominees included “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” “Glow,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Genius: Picasso.”
