Overview
- Frankenstein, One Battle After Another, Sinners, Weapons and Wicked: For Good each earned three nominations spanning makeup, prosthetics and hair styling.
- Four of those leaders—Frankenstein, One Battle After Another, Sinners and Wicked: For Good—also made the Academy’s 10-film shortlist, while Weapons did not.
- The guild’s slate overlaps and diverges from the Oscars list, with films like Marty Supreme and The Smashing Machine appearing on both and several Academy-shortlisted titles bypassed by MUAHS.
- In television, Monster: The Ed Gein Story, Stranger Things Season 5 and Wednesday led with three nominations each, with broader recognition across series, limited series and TV movies.
- Honorary awards will go to Greg Nelson and Judy Alexander Cory for Lifetime Achievement and to Michael Johnston for the Vanguard Award, with the ceremony at the Westin Bonaventure and the guild’s track record often forecasting Oscar nominees.
