The Hollywood Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild is one of the few guilds who have categories that can feature multiple nominees. Usually, if you see a film appear in three categories, they are a major player for the Oscar. There are none of those this year. Instead, we have seven films with two citations…
