2022 OSCARS PREDICTIONS:
BEST MAKEUP AND HAIRSTYLING

UPDATED: Feb 10, 2022

AWARDS PREDICTION COMMENTARY: 

The packaging of Jessica Chastain, who is one of the leading contenders for best actress for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” and the BAFTA and Critics Choice-winning makeup and hairstyling team has kept it leading the discussion. “Coming 2 America” led the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild (MUAHS, IATSE Local 706), dominating the night with wins for best contemporary make-up and hairstyling, in a surprise win, beating out Oscar frontrunners like “Dune,” “Tammy Faye” and “House of Gucci” for best special make-up effects.

That could be the upset waiting in the wings.

Will win: “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” (Searchlight Pictures) – Linda Dowds, Stephanie Ingram and Justin Raleigh
Could win: “Coming 2 America” (Amazon Studios) – Mike Marino, Stacey Morris and Carla Farmer
Should win: “Dune” (Warner Bros) – Donald Mowat, Love Larson, Eva von Bahr
Should have been here: “Last Night in Soho” (Focus Features) – Lizzie Yianni Georgiou

Precursor Awards Leader:
“Dune” (Warner Bros) – Donald Mowat, Love Larson and Eva von Bahr
