Academy Award for Best Makeup

The Academy Award for Best Makeup is the Oscar given to the best achievement in makeup for film. Usually, only three films are nominated each year rather than five as in most categories. The exception is in the early 1980s, when there were only two nominees; and in 1999, when there were four nominees.
The competitive category was created in 1981, after the Academy received complaints that the make-up work in The Elephant Man (1980) was not going to be honored. No award was given to The Elephant Man however, but an entire category dedicated to honoring make-up effects in film was created for subsequent ceremonies. Previously, make-up artists were only eligible for special achievement awards for their work. Before 1981, Special Achievement Oscars were awarded to:
- 1964 – William J. Tuttle for 7 Faces of Dr. Lao
- 1968 – John Chambers for Planet of the Apes
Starting in 1993, the award is to be shared with hairstylists if hair effects “contribute greatly to the appearance and effect of the characters”.
