While “Cruella” definitely has Oscar momentum for makeup and hair designer Nadia Stacey’s delightfully ’70s punk look for Emma Stone, the fact that the origin story split honors with “Being the Ricardos” — which isn’t even in the Oscar race — proves that it’s still an open race among the favored period contenders and dark horse “Coming 2 America.”
“House of Gucci’s” unrecognizable Jared Leto as the balding, paunchy Paolo is very impressive, as is Best Actress nominee Jessica Chastain’s transformation as the legendary evangelist. However, “Dune” has the creative advantage in not being limited by real-life people or a Disney icon in training. Thus, director Denis Villeneuve was free to reinvent the look of Stellen Skarsgård’s Baron by riffing on Marlon Brando’s fierce, gorilla-like Kurtz from “Apocalypse Now” with go-to designer Donald Mowat and the Swedish team of prosthetics artists Love Larson and Eva von Bahr. Quantrell D. Colbert/Paramount Pictures Meanwhile, in a preview of the Emmy race, “American Horror Stories,” “Emily in Paris,” “Genius: Aretha,” “Pose,” and “Star Trek: Discovery” were the big TV winners. As previously announced, director Jon Favreau (“The Mandalorian”) took the Distinguished Artisan Award honors, Michèle Burke (the “Mission: Impossible” movie franchise) was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award, and award-winning actor Doug Jones (“The Shape of Water,” “Star Trek: Discovery,” “Hellboy”), earned the inaugural Chair Award.
