After the jump, you’ll find our winner and runner-up predictions for Best Makeup & Hairstyling as well as general commentary about the race. Thursday, we’ll cover a category that seldom mirrors Best Picture, but often goes hand-in-hand with a category we covered last week.

Wesley Lovell: Darkest Hour has been talked up for some time about how much Gary Oldman disappears into the guise of Winston Churchhill. Wonder was largely an Oscar dud and Victoria & Abdul seems more like it’s along for the ride.
Peter J. Patrick: The makeup in Darkest Hour gave half of Gary Oldman’s performance. I can’t see it losing. Wonder will be a distant second.
Tripp Burton: If Darkest Hour loses here, with the impressive Winston Churchill jowls, I will be shocked. It is one of the most guaranteed wins of the night.
Thomas La Tourrette: With the guild award going to Darkest Hour, it looks like the film to beat for makeup. It had always been the frontrunner, but this makes it even more likely to win. Turning Gary Oldman into a credible Winston Churchill was no mean feat, and the workers on that film will be rewarded for their good work. Itโ€™s closest competition was Wonder which could stage an upset as it was the more emotional film, and the work on young Auggie was also really good. If it had won the guild award, I would list it as the frontrunner, but since Darkest Hour did, that stays the leading candidate. Victoria & Abdul will probably not be a real contender. Darkest Hour wins.
