The Oscar field is narrowing more and more, in anticipation of the Nomination announcement on January 10, 2013. Today, the Academy released a list of 7 films in the running for nomination in the Hair and Makeup category. Three films will escape the narrowing process to be nominated.
This year saw a few major period pieces, some epic fantasy, and a lot of aliens (Men in Black 3, The Watch, Prometheus, Battleship, the list goes on), so there is plenty of complex makeup to choose from. Check out the list of seven below, and watch the Academy Awards on February 24, 2013.
