Oscar Picks: Best of Beauty

Makeup and Hairstyle and Costume Design

     There are a couple of awards given to movie crews for work done to make the cast and set transformational, beautiful, or grotesque. There are three films nominated for Makeup and Hairstyling: Hitchcock, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and Les Misérables. I believe The Hobbit will win this category as the makeup artists had to do more to the actors to make them look like halflings. This process likely took great amounts of time. There are more films listed as nominees under the category of Costume Design: Anna Karenina, Les Misérables, Lincoln, Mirror Mirror, and Snow White and the Huntsman. These movies are all deserving of the Oscar in that the costuming in each shows a painstaking attention to detail, but I believe Anna Karenina should win the statuette. Anna Karenina has the most elaborate of the costumes and seemingly has more frequent costume changes and therefore more costumes were selected for its purpose.
