Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another,” “Sinners,” “Weapons,” “Frankenstein and “Wicked: For Good” led the 13th annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Award nominations.
The films all three landed nominations apiece.
The makeup and hair team behind “One Battle After Another” was nominated in contemporary makeup and special makeup prosthetics. Arjen Tuiten, who was nominated in the latter category, used prosthetic pieces, contact lenses and dentures for Sean Penn’s Colonel Lockjaw in the film’s third act after he survives a horrific car crash.
For “Frankenstein,” Mike Hill, the film’s prosthetics artist, steered clear of the classic zombie, and used 42 prosthetic pieces to transform Jacob Elordi in Guillermo del Toro’s Creature.
Francis Hannon had her work cut out for her on “Wicked: For Good.” Aside from keeping Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba green, she had to work with Mark Coulier to transform Jonathan Bailey into the Scarecrow and Ethan Slater into the Tin Man. 11 pieces were applied to Slater’s face, including cheekbone prosthetics that changed his cheek line and additional pieces to alter his jawline. The process took four hours.
On “Weapons,” the team created prosthetics that unlocked the inner darkness that lurks behind her Aunt Gladys’ rimmed glasses. Amy Madigan’s look needed to be ferocious and needed to mirror an animal that was preying upon its victims.
Other nominated teams include “Bugonia,” “Marty Supreme,” “Superman” and “Battle of a Small Player.”
It’s worth noting that “Frankenstein,” “Marty Supreme,” “One Battle after Another,” “Sinners,” “The Smashing Machine” and “Wicked: For Good” are the only films to match the Oscars shortlist.
On TV, there was a tie in the best contemporary make-up in a television series, limited or movie for TV, which resulted in six nominations.
The new and final season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” landed a total of four nominations, including a nod in the commercial category for the Discover x “Stranger Things” ad.
Lady Gaga’s hairstylist, Sarah Tanno, was also nominated for her work on the “Abracadabra” music video.
The 13th Annual MUAHS Guild Awards is presented by L’Oréal Groupe and Giovanni Eco Chic Beauty. Winners will be honored at the Valentine’s Day awards gala on Feb. 14, 2026, at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles.
