The Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild last night announced winners of its Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists awards in 14 categories of film, television, commercials and live theater during the black-tie ceremony at the Paramount Studios Theatre. The awards took place before an audience of more than 500, including guild members, industry executives and press. The Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild’s president Sue Cabral-Ebert presided over the awards ceremony with actor/comedian Tom Arnold serving as host.
Johnny Depp received the Guild’s Distinguished Artisan Award presented by Oscar-winning make-up artist Joel Harlow, who is currently nominated for an Academy Award for his artistry in The Lone Ranger and also worked on creating Depp’s transformation in The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. Oscar winner Gail Ryan was presented with the Hair Stylists Lifetime Achievement Award by Benicio Del Toro, and Rick Baker presented the Make-Up Artists Lifetime Achievement Award to Oscar winner Dick Smith who was unable to attend.
