The Oscar frontrunner for Best Makeup and Hairstyling,”Star Trek Beyond” is not predicted to win at the guild awards on Sunday (Feb. 19). Rather the Oscar-snubbed “Deadpool” is expected to take home the prize for special makeup effects.
The Oscar-nominated “Suicide Squad” is predicted to lose both that race and the one for period/character film make-up, with”Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” claiming that prize. But at least it is in contention here; the third Oscar nominee, “A Man Called Ove,” was snubbed by the guild. Such a fate befell another Swedish film last year, “The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared” as well as the Oscar contender “The Revenant.”
“Florence Foster Jenkins” will win period/character hairstyling.
Of the contemporary films in competition, only “La La Land” and “Nocturnal Animals” earned nominations for both hairstyling and makeup. “La La Land” is predicted to win both those races.

Last year, “Mad Max: Fury Road” claimed both Special Makeup Effects and the makeup prize for Period/Character films here before prevailing at the Oscars; the only guild prize “Mad Max” lost was the Period/Character Hairstyling award, which went to “Cinderella.” Conversely, the guild completely snubbed the two other Oscar contenders for Best Makeup & Hairstyling: “The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared” and “The Revenant.”
In 2014, “The Grand Budapest Hotel” won the awards for both period/character hairstyling and makeup before winning at the Oscars. One of its two rivals at the Oscars — “Guardians of the Galaxy’ — won both contemporary and special makeup (the other Oscar nominee, “Foxcatcher” contended in that latter category). However, “Guardians” lost the contemporary hairstyling race to “Birdman.”
And in 2013, “Dallas Buyers Club” won the Period/Character Makeup prize here before prevailing at the Oscars. One of its rival Oscar nominees, “Bad Grandpa,” claimed the Special Makeup Effects prize while the third Oscar contender, “The Lone Ranger,” was shut out.
These awards will be handed out on Feb. 19. Make-up artist Leonard Engelman and hair stylist Barbara Lorenz will be feted for their lifetime achievements while Ryan Murphy will receive the Distinguished Artisan Award.
