The Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling is the Oscar given to the best achievement in makeup and hair-styling for film. Usually, only three films are nominated each year rather than five as in most categories. The exception is in the early 1980s, when there were only two nominees; and in 1999, when there were four nominees.
The competitive category was created in 1981 as the Academy Award for Best Makeup, after the Academy received complaints that the make-up work in The Elephant Man (1980) was not going to be honored. No award was given to The Elephant Man however, but an entire category dedicated to honoring make-up effects in film was created for subsequent ceremonies. Previously, make-up artists were only eligible for special achievement awards for their work.

The 61st Annual Academy Awards were presented at the Shrine Auditorium on Wednesday, March 29th, 1989. Seeing as we have to discuss the infamous Rob Lowe/Snow White opening number — not to mention the 9+ minute “stars of tomorrow” number — it’s important that we talk about the real stars of the night: the winners.
