I can’t believe it’s nearly Oscar time again. Feels like just five minutes since we all watched in shock at Seth McFarlane’s turn at host, but come 2nd March, it’ll be time to do it all again as Ellen Degeneres takes over the post. We’ll be amping up our Oscar talk over the coming months, but this morning we can reveal the seven films short-listed for the Best Make-Up and Hairstyling gong.
They are:
American Hustle
Dallas Buyers Club
The Great Gatsby
Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa and
The Lone Ranger
Some interesting choices in there right? BAD GRANDPA up for an Oscar?
