BEST MAKEUP 1986: David Cronenberg has often said that he incorporates his nightmares into his movies, writing down the body-horror visions that torment him in the middle of the night as soon as he wakes up. His imaginings are a makeup artist's creative dream, provoking some pretty original movie scenes (Videodrome's tummy vagina, anyone?) that culminated in two of his artists winning Oscars for their work on his juicy remake of THE FLY. CHRIS WALAS and STEPHAN DUPUIS won the only Oscar ever given to a Cronenberg film (and one of only two that have ever received any nominations) for taking handsome young Jeff Goldblum and slowly turning him into a very disturbing image of a man-bug combination (Geena Davis married him anyway).

BEST MAKEUP 1985: The nominees included Carl Fullerton turning Joel Grey into a wise old mandarin (eep) in Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins and Ken Chase taking the entire cast of The Colour Purple through decades of their harsh lives in the Jim Crow south, but the Oscar went to a film that wasn't recognzied in any other category despite the fact that its star won Best Actress at Cannes and got serious Oscar buzz: Cher's performance as Rusty Dennis in Peter Bogdanovich's wonderful MASK is one of the reasons why it's such a moving but never shamelessly cheesy film, while MICHAEL WESTMORE and ZOLTAN ELEK'S makeup on Eric Stoltz as her son Rocky, who was born with a skull abnormality referred to as "lionitis", is the reason why you can take the movie seriously (and it doesn't hurt that Stoltz does a great job of projecting all the feelings from behind the "mask"). Elek won on his only nomination, Westmore was nominated for 2010 the year before and again for The Clan of the Cave Bear (1986) and Star Trek First Contact (1996).
