Oscar Winner Predictions: Best Makeup

The competition: Albert Nobbs, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, The Iron Lady

Previous winners: The Wolfman, Star Trek, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, La Vie en Rose, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Chronicles of Narnia
My winner: Super 8
Who should win: The Iron Lady
Who will win: In the past ten years, only twice have memorable women trumped mass sci-fi fantasy appeal, “Frida” in 2002 and “La Vie en Rose” in 2007. This year, two such films are in the running against the last installment of a franchise that has yet to win a single Oscar. I think that the two female-led movies split the vote, paving the way for the first Oscar win for “Harry Potter”.
