‘Vice’ & ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ Easily Make MakeUp & Hairstyling Oscar Shortlist

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the shortlist for the 2019 Makeup and Hairstyling Oscar and, as expected, this competitive year provided some upsets.  The work of “Vice,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Mary Queen of Scots” made the cut, but “The Favourite,” “Destroyer,” and the “Fantastic Beasts” sequel, all considered viable contenders, were notably snubbed.
