Orange British Academy Film Awards: the winners

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) are holding the 2009 Orange British Academy Film Awards ceremony this evening.

The winners for Best Makeup & Hair were announced a short while ago:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Jean Black & Colleen Callaghan.

For the first time the winner was chosen by a chapter comprising of costume design and makeup/hair practioners. However, the number of individuals nominated was restricted by the rules: so for Benjamin Button the nominees were the hair and makeup department heads but there was no nomination for Greg Cannom who is credited with creating the age makeups which got the movie the nomination!

The nominations set up a head-to-head between Slumdog Millionaire and Benjamin Button, both of which had garnered eleven nominations (both including Best Film, Best Director, Leading Actor, Music, Cinematography, Editing, & Production Design — they also both had Screenplay nominations, but in different categories).  So far Slumdog has won four BAFTAs and Benjamin Button has won three.

A full listing of the winners in all categories will be available at the BAFTA website. In the meantime The Times are reporting The Baftas: live as it happens.

08/02/2009 update: Slumdog won Best Film and Best Director plus five other BAFTAs; Kate Winslet won Leading Actress for The Reader; Mickey Rourke won Leading Actor for The Wrestler; Heath Ledger won Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight; and Penélope Cruz won Supporting Actress for Vicky Cristina Barcelona; out of its eleven nominations Benjamin Button won only Production Design, Special Visual Effects, and Best Makeup & Hair. The full list of winners is now online at the BAFTA website.

The British Academy Television Craft Awards: winners

This is old news but I’ll include the post for the sake of completeness — at the time the British Academy Television Craft Awards were announced my kit was dismantled and covered in black sacks to protect it from builders dust.

The winners for Best Makeup & Hair Design are:
My Boy Jack
Morna Ferguson & Lorraine Glynn.

BAFTA Cymru Awards: the winners

BAFTA Cymru announced the winners of the 17th Annual BAFTA Cymru Awards on 27 April in Cardiff.

The winners for Best Makeup are:
Doctor Who ‘The Shakespeare Code’
Barbara Southcott & Neill Gorton (Millennium FX).

I loved that episode of Doctor Who and those alien witches were brilliant. But the budgets for Doctor Who and hence the production values so outweigh those of shows produced for the local market — especially Welsh language productions — that it it hardly a level playing field in any of the craft & design categories.
