On Saturday at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, WAMG attended the final Oscar Week event where the Academy celebrated the nominated achievements in the Makeup and Hairstyling category.

The big highlight was the surprise appearance of BAD GRANDPA star Johnny Knoxville. According to the actor,”about two beers” was the amount needed to remove the makeup from his 86 year-old character – Irving Zisman.

Nominee Stephen Prouty remarked, “in actuality 45 minutes. We took an extra effort not to overpaint and go too theatrical.”

JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA is joined by fellow nominees, DALLAS BUYERS CLUB’s Adruitha Lee and Robin Mathews and THE LONE RANGER’s Joel Harlow and Gloria Pasqua-Casny in the Makeup and Hairstyling category.

The crow used for Johnny Depp’s “Tonto” was inspired by a painting from artist Kirby Sattler that LONE RANGER nominee Joel Harlow had viewed by chance before shooting began.

From DALLAS BUYERS CLUB. The nominees said during the 23 day shoot, they only had a $250 budget to work with. After funding was lost a day before shooting was to start, Robin Matthews and Aldruitha Lee had no traditional hair and makeup trailer from which to work from.

To achieve cheap-looking wigs for Jared Leto’s character, the hair pieces were driven over and the above photo is of the tire from the car.
