The article highlights an exciting year for Oscar nominees in makeup and hairstyling, showcasing a trend towards practical special effects. Pierre Olivier Persin and Mike Marino, nominated for their work in 'The Substance' and 'A Different Man', respectively, express joy in their craft, often inspired by childhood curiosities. This year's nominations illustrate a shift from subtle transformations to dramatic effects, seen in films like 'Wicked', where practical makeup, favored by actor Cynthia Erivo for its authenticity, plays a central role. The emphasis on hands-on artistry reflects a return to traditional methods abandoned in the CGI era.
"This year, the nominees showcase a thrilling reliance on practical effects, with visceral transformations that bring characters to life in ways CGI often falls short."
"For Frances Hannon, there's a satisfaction in seeing actors like Cynthia Erivo fully immersed in their roles, preferences for practical makeup enhancing their performances."
