Oscar Prep: Makeup and Hairstyling

Are these the only options? Did The Hobbit CGI it's way out of contention? Did Marvel not dress anyone up enough? Weren't there more movies about sick people? These are our choices? Oh well, here we go.

A couple notes first:
-Each category is arrange from Most to Least likely to win by my measure.
-An '*' before the title indicates a movie that I have seen.
-I'm trying to keep the shorthand to a minimum (get it). A couple that come up though are BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts), SAG (Screen Actors Guild), PGA (Producers Guild of America, WGA (Writers Guild of America), DGA (Directors Guild of America).


Other Picks

Best Makeup and Hairstyling
Front Runner: *Dallas Buyers ClubNominee - Hollywood Makeup and Hair Stylist Guild - Best Period and/or Character Makeup
Simply put, it's the movie on the list that most voters will feel comfortable voting for.

Front Runner: *The Lone Ranger
Nominee: Hollywood Makeup and Hair Stylist Guild - Best Period and/or Character Makeup - Feature Films, Hollywood Makeup and Hair Stylist Guild - Best Period and/or Character Hair Styling
The only movie nominated by the Hair and Makeup Guild for both Hair and Makeup. If we assume there's some overlap in the voters, that puts this in a good position. Then again, it's the Lone fucking Ranger. Who's going to vote for it?

Other Nominees:
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa
Nominee: Hollywood Makeup and Hair Stylist Guild - Best Special Makeup Effects
As much as I would like to hear Jackass mentioned in a ceremony supposedly representing the best in films for the year, I don't see it happening.
