82nd Academy Awards Makeup Oscar While the cutoff date for Oscar nomination submissions has come and gone - it was August, 31, 2009 - there is still great speculation and anticipation as to which films will make the cut when the nominations for the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Achievement in Makeup are announced on February 2, 2010; the awards will be telecast on Sunday, March 7, 2010. And there seems to be a larger than usual number of impressive contenders too, including Amelia, Avatar, District 9, Inglorious Basterds, Public Enemies, Star Trek, Taking Woodstock, Terminator Salvation, The Vampire’s Assistant, Watchmen, Wolverine, and The Young Victoria. Perhaps this time around, the Academy will allow voters 5 choices instead of the three nominations that have become standard in years past. With at least 12 potential films to choose from, it would seem a shame to have only three choices when almost every other category has a choice of 5 nominees to select from. But perhaps even more interesting than the wealth of films to nominate from is the fact that the rules for selecting a makeup Oscar have changed. The Academy has returned to three possible names on the nomination ticket from two names in recent years past. This doesn’t mean that there will be three names, only the possibility; there will be three names when it becomes necessary, because - according to Leonard Engleman, governor of the Makeup Artists ad Hairstyles Branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences - “the area of makeup and hairstyling is now so spread out.” Joe Nazzaro has written a fine article describing the rules change and the selection process in Makeup Artist Magazine (Gold Standard, Number 81) if you’re interested in learning more.
