Nominations for the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards Led By Some Interesting Titles

A new guild has released their awards nominations for the year in film, and the films leading the tally with the most nominations are… Bill & Ted Face the Music, Hillbilly Elegy, and Mulan? 

Maybe that trio will make a little more sense once you know that this is the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards, where Bill & Ted leads the feature categories with four nominations total, while those other two features snagged three nominations apiece. 

While Hillbilly Elegy made the Academy’s recently announced shortlist of ten films competing for nominations in the category, Bill & Ted and Mulan both missed out, meaning that even if they win from the Guild, they won’t be hearing their names called for the category on March 15th, when the Oscar nominations are announced. 

Some of the films that did receive nominations from the Guild that might be among the Oscar nominees include Birds of Prey, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, and Mank. 

For the full list of nominees from the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards, see below. Winners will be announced during a virtual ceremony on April 3rd:
