After the cruelest year and amid the weirdest awards season in memory, the eighth annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards are being handed out tonight. Deadline will be updating the winners at the virtual ceremony as they are announced, and you can watch the livestream above.
See the winners announced so far and the remaining nominees in all 21 categories spanning film, TV, theater, commercials and music videos below.
The long-gestating threequel Bill & Ted Face the Music comes in with a leading four noms in the film category, and Mulan Hillbilly Elegy have three apiece. No other pic has more than two. Saturday Night Live leads the TV side with four MUAHS noms.
Anthony Anderson is hosting the show, and opened with a line about learning “how to accessorize our PPE.” Cue the funny canned applause.
Emmy-winning comedy legend and Dreamgirls Oscar nominee Eddie Murphy received the MUAHS guild’s Distinguished Artisan Award tonight, on his 60th birthday. He was introduced by his Coming 2 America co-star Arsenio Hall, and the honor was presented by Murphy’s longtime stylist team of Vera Steimberg and Stacey “Cut” Morris.
The first Lifetime Achievement honor went to Matthew Mungle, a five-time Makeup Oscar nominee and winner for 1993’s Dracula.
Glenn Close introduced Mungle with a story about how he and his team transformed her into the title character for Albert Nobbs. She was stunned when she saw the final product, saying, “It wasn’t me anymore.” Close said that when her Hillbilly Elegy role came along, “the first person I called was Matthew.” After her makeup transformation into the film’s Mamaw, Close said she has the exact same feeling. “You are a great artist, you deserve this incredible award,” she said, adding that she’s “sure” they’ll work together again.
“Share your knowledge with others, be kind to others” Mungle said to “younger makeup artists” in accepting the awards. He also thanked Close and his longtime colleagues.
Also set for a Lifetime Achievement honor tonight is Terry Baliel, a three-time Emmy winner for Miss Rose White, Deadwood and Hairspray Live!
