Changes have been made to the Academy Award for Achievement in Makeup for the 2010 Academy Awards.
The Board of Governors agreed to change the wording in the award so there can only be three nominees and statuettes awarded per film.
Leonard Engelman, the academy's make-up branch governor, said nominations may include, “the names of the primary individuals—not to exceed three in number—directly involved with, and principally responsible for, the make-up and hairstyling achieved. No more than two statuettes will normally be given in the make-up category. On occasion, a third statuette may be awarded when there are three primary and essential contributors to the achievement(s).”
The change is "tremedously important" for hairstylists and make-up artists in the industry, Engelman said.
“These few choice words give the branch and the academy an opportunity to better recognize the great achievements seen on screen today. We know that what is accomplished for an Oscar-nominated film in most cases is not solely accomplished by one, two or even three artists, but by a group of artists working together.”
