Drivel Part: (That is what my wife calls this part of the page).  Back in February 2011 as The King’s Speech was dueling The Social Network for the big awards we got a request (by Tyler) to rank the Big 6 Oscar® categories. Well, we quickly knocked out the Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress categories. Pages on the Best Director, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress soon arrived….then we stopped…but today, we have added another Oscar winning page….Best Editor.

Since 1981, there have been over 39 Best Makeup Oscar Winners. This page will rank all Best Makeup Oscar Winning movies from Best to Worst in five different sortable columns of information.  If you use the sort and search buttons the massive table becomes very interactive.  Two movies won Honorary Oscars for their work before makeup was an official Oscar category…7 Faces of Dr. Lao (1964) and The Planet of the Apes (1968). Those have been added to the table.  1980’s The Elephant Man has also been included, since it was the makeup in that movie that finally got the Academy to create this category.

Rick Baker holds the record for Best Makeup nominations (12 times) and wins (7 Oscar wins).
