Oscar Week concluded on Saturday with the final event – the Makeup and Hairstyling symposium.
The Academy celebrated the artists nominated for the Makeup and Hairstyling award in the 10th annual event spotlighting this category, which celebrated its 35th anniversary this year.
The makeup artists and hairstylists nominated for MAD MAX: FURY ROAD, THE 100-YEAR-OLD-MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED and THE REVENANT joined makeup artist and former Academy governor Leonard Engelman to discuss their work on the three films, and presented photographs and displays to demonstrate their craft.
Watch the entire event below.
THE REVENANT
While on a danger-laden journey through the American wilderness in the early 1800s, frontiersman Hugh Glass is badly mauled by a grizzly and abandoned by his fellow trappers. Barely surviving his wounds, Glass is driven by thoughts of his family and a desire for revenge as he endures the frigid winter and pursues the men who left him for dead.
These are the first Academy Award nominations for Siân Grigg, Duncan Jarman and Robert Pandini.
The artists told the audience inside the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre that working on Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s epic film proved to be a challenge – especially in the cold temperatures and natural light. The much-talked about Bear Attack took intricate and large appliances to Leonardo DiCaprio’s face and body to give the appearance of deadly injuries.
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
Years after an apocalypse has devastated the world, Australia has become a wasteland ruled by outlaws hoarding fuel, water and other resources. Desperate to escape a tyrant called Immortan Joe, loner Max Rockatansky joins forces with Imperator Furiosa, who is fleeing from Joe and his fanatical followers with a precious cargo that she has smuggled from Joe’s stronghold.
Lesley Vanderwalt, Elka Wardega and Damian Martin, all first time nominees, said it took 45 artists to apply the daily makeup and prosthetics. Charlize Theron’s black forehead makeup was inspired by African tribal photos. Director George Miller asked for the breathing apparatus for Immortan Joe’s character. “He initially wanted cobalt blue.”
Two of these artists are presently working on PROMETHEUS 2.

THE 100-YEAR-OLD MAN WHO CLIMBED OUT THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED
After spending an eventful life amid such history-making settings as the Spanish Civil War, the development of the Manhattan Project, a Soviet gulag and the Berlin Wall, Swedish centenarian and munitions enthusiast Allan Karlsson escapes from his nursing home and goes on an adventure involving a suitcase filled with loot, gangsters and an elephant named Sonya.
These are the first Academy Award nominations for Love Larson and Eva von Bahr.
Larson and von Bahr explained how each day’s makeup application took 4 1/2 hours. Their striking work began with a long process of sculpting and molding for just the right look. 10 pieces were used in the final stage on actor Robert Gustafsson. To regress the actor, facelift cream, contact lenses and a wig were used – all effective to make him look younger.

One of movie fans favorite events of Oscar Week was held Thursday evening at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre, as the Academy held the eighth annual event celebrating the nominees for Best Animated Feature Film.
The evening featured clips from each film, followed by an onstage discussion with each group of nominated filmmakers.
This year’s eclectic mix – Anomalisa, Boy and the World, Inside Out, Shaun the Sheep Movie and When Marnie Was There – are as international as they are distinct.
Employing a stunning variety of animation techniques, the nominees explored a wide range of topics, including existential despair, devastation of natural resources, learning to handle emotion, the value of friendship and surviving the difficulties of adolescence.
This year, members were able to stream the movies and voting came from all over the world.
The evening’s hosts were Don Hall, Chris Williams, Roy Conli, last year’s Oscar winning team from BIG HERO 6. Conli said the five nominees are “beautiful silent moments filled with poetry.”

“Anomalisa” – Charlie Kaufman, Duke Johnson and Rosa Tran
Michael Stone, a middle-aged motivational speaker who is grappling with an existential crisis, attends a customer service convention in Cincinnati to give a speech. At the hotel, he meets and falls for Lisa, a seemingly ordinary woman who sparks his imagination and energizes him to reexamine his life.
ANOMALISA was a staged radio play in Los Angeles in 2005. Filming on the stop-motion animated feature began in 2011. “Puppetry is a perfect medium for this story. It was a good way to explore the adult themes and the emotional story,” said Johnson. On working together, Kaufman said, “co-directing was easy. There was no real division of labor.” The director also talked about the one actor’s voice (Tom Noonan) playing so many characters and the realization for the audience. “It comes to people at different times. I didn’t want to guide the audience. Some never figure it out. There is no right or wrong time.” Over 300 face plates were used on the film while one character was a composite of 20 people. The three filmmakers were going for a natural look and not necessarily a stop-motion feel.
On the choice to use Cyndi Lauper’s ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ for one the best scenes of the film, Tran told the audience, “at first we wanted to use ‘My Heart Will Go On’ but we couldn’t get the clearance to the rights to use it. It took two years to clear Lauper’s song.” Johnson laughed, “Rosa had us thinking we had the rights all along. She didn’t share it with us that we didn’t. We only got them at the end. And we only just discovered that at a recent Q&A session.”
“Boy and the World” – Alê Abreu
Despite his family’s poverty, young Cuca lives a satisfying life, full of wonder at his rural surroundings, until his father goes on a train trip and disappears. While searching for his father, Cuca meets a wide variety of people as he journeys from a farming camp to the ocean and a large factory and then back to the big city.
“Making my film was a special moment for animation in Brazil,” said Abreu. The first time nominee said he tried to listen for the character’s voice and to see the story through the boy’s eyes. “I wanted to convey that through colors. It was an exercise in freedom to draw the character as a child without the critical voice of an adult. The animation style was created for the film. It’s a lyrical film as well as epic.” Music is a huge part of this special film. Abreu added, “it’s a lyrical film as well as epic. The score, by Gustavo Kurlat and Ruben Feffer, is its own special character. It’s a huge part and special.”
“Inside Out” – Pete Docter and Jonas Rivera
When 11-year-old Riley and her parents move to a new city, it’s up to Riley’s five main emotions — Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger and Disgust — to help her adjust. Joy and Sadness are accidentally launched on a journey through Riley’s brain to preserve her core memories, and as the duo races back to Headquarters, Fear, Anger and Disgust must figure out how to guide Riley.
Inside Out is the ninth animated feature to receive a Writing nomination. To date, none has won. With his fourth Writing nomination this year, Pete Docter has tied Andrew Stanton for the most writing nominations for animated films. The filmmakers said the images were created first and they wrote the dialogue to fit it. It was important to both Docter and Rivera that children and adults could relate to the important themes of the film. Rivera remarked, “kids got it immediately when we first started screening it. We had to simplify it for the studio execs.”
“Shaun the Sheep Movie” – Mark Burton and Richard Starzak
Shaun and his fellow sheep are disgruntled with the Farmer’s adherence to his rigid schedule, which leaves no room for spontaneous fun, but when he goes missing in the Big City, the flock and sheepdog Bitzer leave their rural home to hunt for their pal, all the while eluding a power-mad animal containment officer.
The stop motion animation came easy to the duo. Based on the 140 episodes from the TV show, which ran 7 minutes each, there were many stories to tell with a full-length film. “The emotional core prompted us to make the movie. It’s a story about a family. We used no dialogue throughout the movie and told the story physically. We used sound as a device.” said Starzak. Both agreed Buster Keaton was a big influence in telling the story of SHAUN THE SHEEP more like a silent film. From the beginning the themes never changed. Burton added, “we adapted as we went along – adjusting the storyboards to see what was working, but the heart of the story remained the same.” Burton added that the song “Home” from the Foo-Fighters could only be used in the film once they had the rights. “It happened when we sent a photo of Shaun pleading for the rights.”
Prior to the Q&A event, when I asked the filmmakers about their next project, Starzak said they were working on SHAUN THE SHEEP 2.
“When Marnie Was Here” – Hiromasa Yonebayashi and Yoshiaki Nishimura
After lonely young Anna is sent to live in Hokkaido with her relatives, she spends her time drawing and exploring her rural home. Anna is befriended by a mysterious blonde girl named Marnie who lives in an isolated mansion, and as their bond grows, Anna becomes obsessed with uncovering the secret of Marnie’s life.
During the Q&A part of the program, director Hiromasa Yonebayashi spoke of the adapting the original British story. Through a translator, Yonebayashi said, “we didn’t know at first how to tell the story of Anna and Marnie and their journey. It was difficult at first to depict how they felt and then turn it into a film, but eventually it worked.” He continued, “It’s a fine line to show a flawed at empathetic character. Most of Studio Ghibli fans know that our films conatin bright sunny characters. We wanted to convey a character who is short in stature, but large in issues.” The greatest personal achievement for the filmmaker was the depiction of water in the movie. “Showing water is very difficult. When we first showed it to Mr. Miyazaki, he remarked on how the water looked very real. I felt very relieved!”
Producer Yoshiaki Nishimura mentioned Studio Ghibli is no longer making feature films, only shorts. However the company’s name will remain the same.
The 88th Oscars will be held on Sunday, February 28, 2016, at the Dolby Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center in Hollywood, and will be televised live by the ABC Television Network at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 225 countries and territories worldwide.

Oscar Week 2015 has arrived. The week kicked off with the filmmakers of the Oscar nominated short films.
Actor Sean Astin hosted the Academy’s “Oscar Celebrates: Shorts” event on Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
Astin was a perfect choice. His short film Kangaroo Court was nominated for an Oscar back in 1995, and its quite obvious he has a passion for the genre.
He spoke about what it was like when he was nominated in that category and being excited about the possibility of winning (It was actually a tie between 2 shorts that year, and his film was not one of them). Said Astin wryly, “I told myself we probably came in 3rd.”
He was very engaging in Q&A panel and asked the perfect smart and brief questions to keep things moving along.
