The Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (IATSE Local 706) has revealed the nominees for its annual Muahs Awards, with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 leading the feature competition with four nominations and Maestro close behind with three noms.
Disney/Marvel’s Guardians 3 earned noms in the categories for contemporary makeup, period and/or character makeup, period hairstyling and/or character hairstyling and special makeup effects. Bradley Cooper’s Netflix Leonard Bernstein drama Maestro collected noms for period and/or character makeup, period hairstyling and/or character hair styling and special makeup effects.
The Muahs Guild’s feature nominees vary quite bit from this season’s Oscar shortlist for the category. In fact, Guardians 3 was already snubbed in the makeup and hairstyling Oscar race, failing to make the shortlist of 10 films that advanced to the upcoming branch bake-off.

Villa Collina, a Mediterranean Revival masterpiece nestled in the hills of Los Feliz in the shadow of Griffith Observatory, has a historic Hollywood pedigree stretching back almost a century. Designed by architect Henry Harwood Hewitt in 1927, the four-bedroom, four-bath estate was built for Olympian Clement E. Smoot, who was part of the 1904 gold medal-winning golfing team. A later resident was Artur Rodzinski, famed Polish conductor of the LA Philharmonic.
But Villa Collina became famous as the home of legendary English director James Whale in the 1930s. Whale reportedly lived at the Villa with his longtime partner David Lewis, despite rampant homophobia in Hollywood. According to Behind the Screen: How Gays and Lesbians Shaped Hollywood, when agent Phil Berg asked Whale if he “had” to live with Lewis, Whale replied: “I don’t have to. I want to.”

Updated with revised dates: Strikes or no strikes, the 2023-24 awards season preparations continue. The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild today revealed the key dates for its 11th annual Muahs Awards, which are set to be handed out Saturday, February 18, at the Beverly Hilton.
Nominations for the awards — which honor outstanding achievements for make-up artists and hair stylists in motion pictures, television, commercials and live theater — will be revealed January 2.
Back in February, top winners at the 10th annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards included The Whale, Elvis, Batman and Pam & Tommy. A24’s The Whale went on to win the Academy Award for Makeup and Hairstyling, highlighted by the remarkable transformation of eventual Best Actor Oscar winner Brendan Fraser into a 600-lb. man.

Poor Elsa Lanchester and poor Bride of Frankenstein. Despite being the title character of James Whale’s 1935 horror-comedy masterpiece, this ghoulish undead creature only gets about five minutes of proper screen time. Whale’s camera certainly basks in her visage, which by design is far more glamorous than makeup artist Jack Pierce’s other creature feature designs for the Universal Monsters. Nonetheless, after finally being brought to life, the character, who is almost insultingly dubbed “the Monster’s Mate” in the credits, gets to walk once or twice around the lab and is then obliterated—burned to a cinder because she had the audacity to (like everyone else) be repulsed by Boris Karloff’s misunderstood monster.

S. Darko: A Donnie Darko Tale Directed by: Chris Fisher Written by: Nathan Atkins Starring: Daveigh Chase, Briana Evigan, Jackson Rathbone, Ed Westwick, Elizabeth Berkley, John Hawkes Although Richard Kelly's directorial debut Donnie Darko didn't break even upon its initial theatrical release back in 2001, the movie went on to find a pretty massive cult following on DVD and has since become a bit of a cash cow. To this day I'm not quite sure what it is about the film that connected with teen audiences, but I suspect it has something to do with Jake Gyllenhaal's performance as an emotionally troubled outcast and its reputation for being such a mindbender of a film. Either way, it was successful enough to result in a Director's Cut re-release a few years later, and now, a direct-to-dvd sequel. Yes, that's right a sequel. There are certain movies that lend themselves well to sequels,...
