28th Prix Genie Awards
Okay, I know that the Genie Awards aren’t announced until 03 March and that there isn’t a category for Best Makeup. However this year the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television / Académie canadienne du cinéma et de la télévision have given a Special Award for Outstanding Achievement in Make-Up Design to MAC.
update 17/02/2008: Apologies, I misread the makeup award page at the Genie Awards website: MAC is the sponsor of the award not the receipient.
The Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television / Académie canadienne du cinéma et de la télévision announced on 14 February that they have have given a Special Award for Outstanding Achievement in Make-Up Design to Stephan Dupuis for ‘his exceptional make-up, prosthetic and tattoo work on actor Viggo Mortensen’ in the multi-Genie-nominated Eastern Promises. This is only the fourth such award given by the Academy.
The Prix Genie Awards site has information on nominees in other categories. The winners of the annual Genie Awards will be announced on 03 March.
update 07/03/2008: The full listing of Genie Award Winners is available at the Genie Awards website.
