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.

Experiment Inkognito

I’ve got a soft spot for celebrity fakeover shows, so I’m looking forward to Experiment Inkognito the latest version of the Anonymous format distributed internationally by Eyeworks. In the first episode Jeanette Biedermann undergoes a radical transformation with a lot of help from Robert Rebele.

There have already been shows in Ireland (Anonymous) and Spain (Anónimos) and there is apparently a Romanian version airing (on Direct Target?); Greek, Brazilian, Mexican, French and Norwegian versions are in the pipeline. If anyone has any information on — or better still, images from — any of these, please get in touch.

I’m far less keen — they generally make me cringe — on those ‘walk in my shoes’ reality TV shows that claim some serious agenda, but the makeups are interesting. So if anyone has information on versions of The Big Experiment format that originated in New Zealand and particularly on the forthcoming French version (to be called La Grande Expérience I believe), I’d like to hear about them too. 

update 21/02/2008: there are a selection of before and after images from various fakeover shows at my MySpace site.
