"TECH SUPPORT": Best Makeup - Volume I
Makeup in the filmmaking medium does far more than just make an actor or actress look good. In fact, it can often do the opposite. It becomes an essential part of character-building, allowing actors and actresses to disappear into the world of a film, and it is awarded every year by the AMPAS in the form of the Best Makeup Oscar.
The award is actually designated for both makeup and hairstyling. But in my humble opinion, the category has tended to ignore the latter more often than not.
This category will become much clearer after the announcement of the seven bakeoff finalists later in the season. As in the Best Visual Effects category, seven finalists are announced prior to the date when the nominations are announced, and three of those seven finalists become the nominees.

KRIS:
Is it CONFIRMED that Helena Bonham Carter is going lead? I think she has more chances if she goes supporting.
