Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling

The Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling is the Oscar given to the best achievement in makeup and hair-styling for movies. Usually, only three movies are nominated each year rather than five as in most categories.
In 2012, the category was renamed to Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling.
Special Achievement Awards.
Before 1981, Special Achievement Oscars were twice awarded to makeup artists for their work on a specific movie:
Hairstylists.
Starting in 1993, the award is to be shared with hairstylists if hair effects "contribute greatly to the appearance and effect of the characters".
