The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild (MUAHS, IATSE Local 706) unveiled the winners of the 2023 MUAHS Guild Awards on Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, where the films and TV shows that won multiple awards included WB’s Elvis, Hulu’s Pam & Tommy, HBO Max’s Legendary, and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special.
Melissa Peterman hosted the show, which was once again produced by IngleDodd Media and Erick Weiss of Honeysweet Creative, and celebrated its 10th anniversary this year. The guild spread the love, as winners on the film side included Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Everything Everywhere All at Once, and The Whale, while winners on the TV side included Abbott Elementary, Euphoria, and Our Flag Means Death.
That left The Batman and Stranger Things among the high-profile projects that were snubbed by the guild, which also handed out several lifetime achievement awards.
Steve LaPorte won the Lifetime Achievement Award in Make-up, while Josée Normand won the Lifetime Achievement Award in Hairstyling. This year’s Vanguard Awards went to Fred C. Blau Jr. for Make-up and Judy Crown for Hairstyling, while Angela Bassett, the Oscar-nominated star of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, won the guild’s Distinguished Artisan Award.
