Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Barbie did not make the Oscars shortlist for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
Margot Robbie’s Barbie leads the Oscars shortlist with five inclusions across the several categories announced recently. However, the movie faced a surprising setback in one major category, which was predicted as a sure win for the film. Barbie was omitted from the Best Makeup & Hairstyling category in the shortlist. Notably, the film’s biggest rival at the Oscars, Oppenheimer, made it to the shortlist of ten films in the category.
The Barbie power ballad ‘I’m Just Ken’ and AP and Frontline’s documentary 20 Days in Mariupol just got one step closer to an Oscar nomination. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Thursday shortlists in 10 categories, including best original song, documentary feature, international feature, original score, and crafts like hair and makeup, visual effects and sound.
One of the major attractions of Margot Robbie‘s Barbie was the world and characters built by Greta Gerwig. The costumes, makeup & hair, and set design played a major role in bringing Gerwig’s vision to life. Many critics and media outlets predicted that the movie would be recognized in these categories during the awards season. However, the recently unveiled Oscars shortlists took everyone by surprise, as Barbie was absent from the Best Makeup & Hairstyling category.
