Makeup and Hairstyling: the alchemy category of the Oscars
Magic, lighting, cinematography, dermatology, cosmetology, hairdressing, dentistry, painting, engineering, chemistry, alchemy, aesthetics, and prosthetics: these crafts all combine and melt into a parallel universe of illusion that help actors disappear into their roles. These techniques and artifices create illusions that work for drama, horror, comedy, musicals, science fiction, and period films.
