Unlike many of the other Oscar categories that shortlist their potential nominees at 15 contenders, the Makeup and Hairstyling branch only selects 10 films. Somewhat odd considering almost every narrative feature features a working member of their branch, but so be it. Needless to say, top contenders “Birds of Prey,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Emma” and “Jungle Jangle: A Christmas Journey” still made the cut.
