Historically, gender nudity inequality ran rampant in Hollywood, as most leading men were, perhaps understandably, reluctant to hang brain on screen. Thanks to advances in prosthetic technology, however, we can splash as many wangs as we want across the silver screen, safe in the knowledge that, like everything else on it, they’re only pretend. That’s right: It’s a new dong dawn.

But what happens to those fabled phalluses once they’ve served their purpose?

5 Nosferatu

In one scene of 2024’s Nosferatu reboot, Nicholas Hoult gets a little too intimate with Bill Skarsgard’s title bloodsucker, later revealing to director Robert Eggers, “I could feel his prosthetic penis on my leg.” As a reminder of their special time together, Eggers framed the vampenis and sent it to Hoult after filming wrapped. In fact, it arrived broken, but a gift is a gift, so Hoult had to take the...

Lily James’ Pamela transformation leaves onlookers shocked (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Actress Lily James once stunned audiences with her transformation into Canadian model Pamela Anderson for Hulu’s 2022 miniseries Pam & Tommy. The show, based on the infamous 2014 Rolling Stone article Pam and Tommy: The Untold Story of the World’s Most Infamous Sex Tape, not only reignited public interest in the scandalous history between Anderson and musician Tommy Lee but also led to intense curiosity about its leading actress.

When early photos of James transformed into the Baywatch bombshell at a California beach surfaced, they left the internet with one small question crawling in the back of their brains to ponder. “Are Lily James’ breasts real in Pam & Tommy?” spearheaded search engine inputs — and deservingly so. With Anderson’s famously voluptuous figure, which attracts many with her breasts measurements — 34D, and later enhanced to 34Dd — it was inevitable for viewers to wonder how James,...

The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild (Muahs, IATSE Local 706) has announced the nominees for the 12th annual Muahs Guild Awards, with The Penguin, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, The Substance and The Deliverance leading the competition with three nods each.

Max’s The Penguin received nominations for best special make-up effects, best contemporary hairstyling and best contemporary make-up, with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice receiving nods for best period and/or character make-up, best period and/or character hairstyling and best special make-up effects.

Both The Substance and The Deliverance were nominated in the categories of best contemporary make-up, best contemporary hairstyling and best special make-up effects.

Wicked and Gladiator II also received two nominations each in the categories of best period and/or character make-up and best period and/or character hairstyling. It Ends With Us garnered nominations for best...

“The Substance,” “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” and “The Deliverance” topped the 12th annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Award nominations with three apiece.

Right behind with two nominations are “Gladiator II,” “Wicked,” and “Deadpool and Wolverine,” while other Oscar hopefuls like “Emilia Pérez,” and “A Different Man” scored a single bid. Notably missing from the nominations are “Nosferatu” and “Dune: Part Two.”

Last season, “Maestro” and “Saltburn” each took home two awards from the guild. While “Saltburn” was snubbed by the Oscars, “Maestro” was nominated but lost to “Poor Things.”

On the TV side, “Dancing with the Stars” led the way with five nominations.

Horror dominated the nominations for the 12th annual Muahs Guild Awards, with “The Substance,” “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” and the surprising “The Deliverance” each nabbing three nominations apiece. The makeup and hairstyling awards will take place Saturday, February 15, 2025, at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel.

“The Substance,” Coralie Fargeat’s body horror fairy tale starring Demi Moore, earned nominations for Best Contemporary Makeup, Best Special Makeup Effects, and Best Contemporary Hairstyling.

Tim Burton’s “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” which marks the return of Michael Keaton’s foul-mouth ghoul from the afterlife, snagged Best Period and/or Character Makeup, Best Special Makeup Effects, and Best Period and/or Character Hairstyling.

“The Deliverance,” Lee Daniels’ supernatural horror film based on the Ammons haunting case, also scored nominations for Best Contemporary Makeup, Best Special Makeup Effects, and Best Contemporary Hairstyling.

Earning two nominations were “Wicked” (Best Period and/or Character Makeup and Best Period and/or Character Hairstyling...

Coralie’s Fargeat’s “The Substance,” “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” and “The Deliverance” led the 12th annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Award nominations.

The body horror of Fargeat’s “The Substance” resonated with the make-up and hair stylist guild with three nominations. Special effects artist Pierre Olivier Persin explained that Fargeat wanted to use practical effects, instead of digital CGI, where possible. 70-80% of what was seen in the film was practical, including the MonstroElisaSue creation which features at the end.

“Gladiator 2” and “Deadpool and Wolverine” each landed two nominations a piece. Other films that scored include “Shirley,” “Bob Marley: One Love” and “The Last Showgirl.”

Missing from the nominations were nods for “Maria,” “Nosferatu” and “Dune: Part II.”

In the television category, “Dancing With the Stars” landed five nominations across the hair and make-up categories.

Lady Gaga’s “Chromatica Ball Film” was also nominated, landing her personal makeup artist,...

The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild has applied the nominations for its 12th annual Muahs Guild Awards, which will be handed out in February. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is tied for the film lead with three noms alongside The Substance and The Deliverance.

The long-awaited Tim Burton sequel actually scored five noms if you count the two for a related deodorant commercial.

Also vying for Muahs are such top-grossing and/or awards-season hopefuls as Wicked, Deadpool & Wolverine, Gladiator II, Emilia Pérez, The Last Showgirl and Megalopolis. See the full list of nominees in 23 categories spanning motion pictures, television, live theater, commercials and music videos below.

On the TV side, Dancing with the Stars — which waltzed off with three Muahs in 2024 — leads everyone with five nominations, followed by Saturday Night Live and the MTV Video Music Awards with four each. The Penguin waddled away with three.

Charlize Theron is often front-row at tennis matches and fashion shows — but on Tuesday, she was on the court, playing doubles with No. 1 men’s player Novak Djokovic.

The Oscar winner hosted the 20th annual Desert Smash celebrity tennis tournament to support her charity, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project. The organization funds community-based, locally led groups that work directly with young people in preventing gender-based violence, advocating for sexual reproductive health and rights, and providing access to higher education. For the final match, the Serbian tennis superstar made a surprise appearance, interrupting Theron’s game with Atp champion Frances Tiafoe, comedian Yvonne Orji and two-time Grand Slam winner Victoria Azarenka.

“Maestro,” “Saltburn” and “Barbie” have won the feature-film awards from the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild, which gave out its annual awards on Sunday evening in Los Angeles.

“Maestro” won awards the two Muahs categories that most closely correspond to the Oscars’ Best Makeup and Hairstyling category: Best Special Make-Up Effects and Best Period and/or Character Make-Up.

“Saltburn” won for Best Contemporary Make-Up and Best Contemporary Hair Styling, while “Barbie” took the award for Best Period and/or Character Hair Styling.

The wins were significant for “Maestro,” which has seen its status as a frontrunner for the Oscar makeup award falter as it lost at BAFTA and the Critics Choice Awards to “Poor Things” and “Barbie,” respectively.

In the first 15 years of the Muahs awards, which ran between 1999 and 2003 and then returned in 2013, the winner for period make-up went on to win the Oscar eight times, while...

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom battled it out in a friendly game of pickleball during the first annual Light Up The Court Pickleball Tournament this weekend.

The Grammy-nominated superstar raised money for the Firework Foundation at the event on Sunday (October 22) at the Montecito Club in her hometown of Santa Barbara, Calif.

Founded in 2019 by Katy and her sister, Angela Lerche, the foundation’s mission is to empower children from underserved communities by igniting their inner light through the arts.

Some of the celebrity pickleball players included Kate Hudson, James Valentine, Lauren Sanchez, Corey Gamble, Meghan Trainor, Daryl Sabara, Jason Collins, Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe.

The event ended with a match that pitted Katy and Federico Staksrud against Orlando and Maggie Brascia. After an intensely close match, Team Katy emerged victorious 13-11.

“My mom brought (maybe even forced) her love for pickleball upon our family, and now we...

The filming of Snitch took place in the southern United States, where the diverse locations were used effectively to enhance the storytelling. The cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Rafi Gavron, Barry Pepper, Benjamin Bratt, Harold Perrineau, Susan Sarandon, and Jon Bernthal. Filming primarily occurred in the Shreveport-Bossier City Metropolitan Area of Louisiana, with a few scenes shot in Texas. The budget constraints seemingly influenced the choice of locations.

The entirety of filming for Snitch took place in the southern United States, where the cast and crew took advantage of the versatility of the region's locations to tell the story. The 2013 action thriller movie starred Dwayne Johnson as John Matthews, a construction company owner whose estranged son, Jason Collins, played by Rafi Gavron, got in trouble with the Drug Enforcement Agency when he was framed by his friend. To bail his son out and prove his innocence, John agreed to go undercover...

“Elvis” did well at the Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild on Feb. 11 winning two of its three bids. It claimed the prizes for both period/character makeup and hairstyling but lost the special effects race to one of its Oscar rivals, “The Whale.” Another Oscar contender, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” won contemporary makeup.

These wins boost the odds of one of these three films prevailing at the Academy Awards. Last year marked the only time in the nine-year history of these guild honors that one of its winners had not gone on to claim the Oscar for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. While “Coming 2 America” won three awards here, it was “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” that won over academy voters. That biopic had lost both period/character guild awards (hairstyling to “Being the Ricardos” and makeup to Oscar rival “Cruella”) plus the special effects category to “Coming 2 America.

Elvis topped the feature competition at the 10th annual Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards (IATSE Local 706), winning a pair of awards for period make-up and period hair styling.

Accepting with the team, Shane Thomas said of the team’s challenge to creating Elvis Presley, “We wanted to represent and respect, but not impersonate.” He also saluted director Baz Luhrmann’s “unwavering commitment” to filmmaking.

Also on Saturday at The Beverly Hilton, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever collected the award for contemporary hair styling. Department head Camille Friend dedicated the award to the late Chadwick Boseman.

Angela Bassett – who is Oscar-nominated for her role as Queen Ramonda in Wakanda Forever – received the Guild’s Distinguished Artisan Award during the ceremony. Bassett called the Guild members the “unsung heroes of filmmaking” as she accepted the award. “For any show, there is a team who works long and hard to help us bring to life the character.

Updated with complete winners list: Oscar Best Picture nominee Elvis scored wins in both motion picture period make-up and hair styling categories Saturday at the 10th annual Make-up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards.

The contemporary make-up team from fellow Best Pic Oscar nominee Everything Everywhere All at Once and the special make-up effects team behind The Whale also took top honors tonight in the ceremony at the Beverly Hilton, as did Black Panther: Wakanda Forever for its contemporary hair styling.

Angela Bassett received the Distinguished Artisan Award on Saturday

Tonight’s film winners are now vying for Oscar frontrunner status in the Make-up and Hair Styling category; Elvis, Black Panther and The Whale are nominated there this year along with All Quiet on the Western Front and The Batman. Elvis and Batman were triple Muahs nominees tonight.

On the TV side tonight, multiple winners include Pam & Tommy, The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special,...

“Elvis” took the crown at the 10th annual Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild Awards, leading all films. Presented Saturday evening at the Beverly Hilton, the Baz Luhrmann spectacle in which hair and makeup helped transform Austin Butler into Elvis Presley at every stage of his illustrious career, won two awards in the five feature-film categories, for period and/or character make-up and period and/or character hair styling.

Other film winners included “Everything Everywhere All at Once” for contemporary make-up, “The Whale” for special make-up effects and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” for contemporary hair styling.

“Elvis,” “The Whale,” and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” are all nominated for the Best Makeup and Hairstyling Oscar, along with “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “The Batman.”

Since the Muahs Awards started up again after a hiatus in 2013, all but one Oscar winner for makeup and hair had previously won an award from the guild.

The Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild held its 10th annual awards ceremony Saturday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” dominated the night with two wins for best period and/or character make-up and period and/or character hair styling. Best special make-up effects went to Adrien Morot, Kathy Tse and Chris Gallaher for “The Whale. Michelle Chung (Variety’s 10 artisans to watch recipient for hair and makeup) and the “Everything Everywhere All At Once” team took home the award for best contemporary make up, while the “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” team won for best contemporary hair.

On the TV front, Hulu’s “Pam and Tommy,” “American Horror Story: Dollhouse” and “Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special” all took home awards.

Make-up artist D’Andre Michael and Muah winner Camille Friend presented the Distinguished Artisan Award to Angela Bassett.

Bassett told the room full of local 706 artisans,...

Two of the five Oscar nominees for Best Makeup and Hairstyling — “The Batman” and “Elvis” — contend in three categories apiece at the guild awards on Feb. 11. Another contender, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” has a pair of bids while “The Whale” has a single nomination. The fifth Oscar contender, “All Quiet on the Western Front,” was snubbed by the Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards.

Last year marked the first time in the nine-year history of these guild awards that the eventual Oscar winner was shut out here first. “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” lost both period/character races (hairstyling to “Being the Ricardos” and makeup to Oscar rival “Cruella”) plus the special effects category to another Oscar contender, “Coming 2 America.” The other two Oscar nominees — “House of Gucci” and “Dune” — were also overlooked by the guild despite three and two bids respectively.

Our exclusive odds predict that five films...

The Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild got a jump on the Oscars by announcing nominations for its awards on the eve of academy members starting to vote. Of the 10 films that remain in the running for Best Makeup and Hairstyling at the Oscars, seven are vying for these precursor prizes.

“The Batman” and “Elvis” reaped three bids apiece with the guild; “Amsterdam,” “Babylon,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and “Blonde” earned two each; and and “The Whale” has one.

Three films still in contention at the Academy Awards — “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Crimes of the Future” and “Emancipation” — were snubbed by the guild.

Conversely, several of the Muahs favorites — “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “The Menu,” — didn’t make the cut with the academy in phase 1 of voting.

The 10th annual Makeup Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards are set for Feb. 11.

[This story contains spoilers for HBO’s Westworld season 4.]

When HBO’s Westworld revealed its massive mid-season twist — that Aaron Paul’s Caleb had become a host — it inched this cerebral series closer to answering its longest-running question: what makes something human?

It’s a quandary the series’ special makeup effects team has had to not only help Westworld visually explore throughout the show’s run but in the face of several of its leading heroes and villains becoming hosts, alongside the introduction of a new series of drones imagined by Hale during its fourth season.

Executing that thematic exploration with Caleb took place during the season’s sixth episode, “Fidelity,” where host version #278 attempts to break out of Hale’s glass cage after she seeks to isolate what has made Caleb’s human consciousness resistant to her mind-control tech. In the process, Caleb runs into a series of frightening discoveries: past versions of him,...

Note: This article contains spoilers for "Don't Worry Darling" so proceed with caution.

The big reveal of "Don't Worry Darling" wouldn't be the same without the hair and makeup team behind the moment. If you've seen the film already, you know that the Jack we meet at the beginning of the film — played by former One Direction member Harry Styles — is not quite the same guy we come to know by the time the third act starts to roll.

The internet can't stop talking about Styles' transformation from a Frank Sinatra-style leader of his own Rat Pack to a grimy incel with ulterior motives, but it wouldn't hit as hard if it weren't for hair department head Jaime Leigh McIntosh and makeup head Heba Thorisdottir, who spent two hours working on the look.

According to McIntosh, the finished product, and how effective it would be onscreen, "was about finding...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read unless you have seen “Don’t Worry Darling,” in theaters now.

Olivia Wilde’s “Don’t Worry Darling” is set in the blissful utopia of the Victory Project in the 1950s. Alice (Florence Pugh) and Jack (Harry Styles) are residents in the insular desert town, where husbands routinely drive off to work, wives wave goodbye, take ballet lessons and prepare dinner. It’s a “Stepford Wives” scenario.

But all is not right, as the women must stay away from their husbands’ office building, Victory HQ, and aren’t allowed to know what they do for work. Soon enough, Alice starts to suspect that even bigger secrets lie underneath the surface of their idealistic life. After a neighbor disappears, she digs deeper.

In the film’s second-act twist, viewers learn that the Victory Project is a present-day VR world where men can control women and turn them into “perfect wives.

Curated by the IndieWire Crafts team, Craft Considerations is a platform for filmmakers to talk about recent work we believe is worthy of awards consideration. In partnership with Hulu, for this edition we look at how costume designer Kameron Lennox, hair department head Barry Lee Moe, makeup department head David Williams and special makeup effects designer Jason Collins brought the ’90s back to life for “Pam & Tommy.”

Hulu’s limited series “Pam & Tommy” chronicles the marriage of two of the most iconic and ubiquitous celebrities of the ’90s, “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. The show is both an intimate character study and a sweeping portrait of an era, which created both inspiring opportunities and daunting challenges for the filmmakers tasked with comparing and contrasting the public and private lives of Pam, Tommy, and the members of their circle during the most dramatic period in their relationship.

“It is a cherry on top of what was a wonderful experience,” says “Pam and Tommy” editor Tatiana Riegel about the Hulu series earning 10 Emmy nominations, including Best Limited Series. “It is particularly wonderful because both ‘I, Tonya’ (for which Riegel was Oscar nominated) and this were directed by Craig Gillespie, with whom I work quite often. He sets a very high bar and he’s extremely collaborative.”

Makeup department head Carleigh Herbert has always been obsessed with period pieces, and the ’70s have always been a favorite.“There was so much self-expression,” she says. So, when the chance to work on HBO Max’s “Minx” came along, she snapped it up.

One particular scene, halfway through the show’s first episode, posed a unique challenge for Herbert. Ophelia Lovibond’s Joyce is tasked with casting models for Minx, the first porn magazine designed for women. What follows is a parade of male models baring and strutting their stuff for the casting call.

Herbert, whose credits include “The Sex Life of College Girls,” “Ratched” and “American Horror Story,” says both director Rachel Lee Goldenberg and the show’s creator and writer Ellen Rapoport were excited to have her on board with her prosthetics background.

“They said, ‘It’s great you do prosthetics because we’re going to have some,...

Throughout her career, makeup artist Carleigh Herbert has worked on a large variety of different TV series, including MTV’s “Teen Wolf” and FX’s “American Horror Story” — which has earned her four Emmy nominations to date — but nothing is quite as special as actually being part of one from the get-go. “It’s honestly a dream come true,” she tells Gold Derby in a new webchat about serving as the makeup department head on the first season of HBO Max’s new period comedy series “Minx.” “And [it’s] a period piece — there’s nothing more challenging than that. So, the challenge of it all and then designing [it] from the start has been a really wild, fun experience. It’s like it becomes your baby.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Set in 1970s Los Angeles, the series follows Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond), an earnest young feminist who joins forces with...

Hair and makeup artists are at it again, transforming actors into real-life characters. From the sublime to complete, Jared Leto, Jessica Biel, Lily James, Sebastian Stan and Renée Zellweger were among those being trans- formed and techniques including 3D scans of the artist are de rigueur now.

Suits, enhancements and a lot of prosthetics went into helping actors disappear into their parts.

Leto is no stranger to the art of transformation. Last year, he vanished under layers of prosthetics to play Paolo Gucci in Ridley Scott’s “House of Gucci.” For “WeCrashed” on Apple TV+, Leto worked with Kazu Hiro, who helped him become WeWorked founder Adam Neumann.

Though “Pam & Tommy” may take some creative license in telling its story, the recreation of Tommy Lee (Sebastian Stan) and Pamela Anderson (Lily James) at the height of their fame/infamy is unimpeachable. More than any of the needle drops or the script’s wide-eyed wonderment at VHS and the internet, it is the work of the hair and makeup teams that bring the entire era to life. IndieWire spoke to hair department head Barry Lee Moe, makeup department head David Williams, and makeup special effects designer Jason Collins about tackling that challenge.

“I got [Tommy’s] piercings from Body Electric on Melrose, and I simply took in a photo of Tommy Lee’s chest,” Williams said. “And the man who owns the shop asked, ‘Are you working with Tommy Lee?’ And I said, ‘Well, not exactly, but why do you ask if that’s Tommy Lee?’ [And he said] ‘I know those tattoos!’ It...

Sexuality in football is currently under the microscope. Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib this month became the first active NFL player to come out as gay, and while historic, it was also a moment of reflection for Ryan Russell.

What better time to watch a film about people being quarantined that during a worldwide lockdown? Probably bad timing or poor taste but here we are…

Set in a small rural community which is quarantined by an alien presence, Alien Outbreak follows local police officers Zoe and Patrick as they battle through the night to take control after being cut off from the outside world. Residents begin to behave strangely and mass panic spreads throughout. With the help of others, Zoe and Patrick begin unraveling the mystery and soon discover it is not all as it seems.

Ok, Ok. So Alien Outbreak is not about a natural-born killer virus making everyone stay indoor and over-shop for toilet paper and pasta.

NBA star Andre Iguodala believes ex-Golden State Warriors head coach Mark Jackson has been blackballed from coaching in the NBA ... and it's all over his religious views. Andre has been playing for the Warriors since 2013 -- and spent one year under coach Jackson -- who's been often credited with building the Warriors into the dynasty they are today. But, ever since Jackson was fired, he hasn't been hired as a coach by any other NBA...

Coming out and its impact on the sports industry was a career-defining moment, said Jason Collins, retired NBA Player and the first openly gay man to play in the NBA, at an event on Tuesday.

The Aarp event, hosted in collaboration with Sage and the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Lgbt Affairs, brought together members of the Lgbt community, along with community organizations and local stakeholders, to discuss cross-cultural competence and challenges the Lgbt community often faces.

Attendees spoke out about the importance of cultural sensitivity and diversity inclusion during the roundtable discussion moderated by Terri Clark, SAGECare Trainer.

“Although members of the Lgbt community have many things in common, we also have aspects of our identities that join us to other cultures and communities,” stated Terri Clark, SAGECare Trainer. “Folks attended because they want to connect and learn about the diversity within our Lgbt communities and believe they...

With fewer than 100 days until the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, U.S. freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy has become one of the most prominent faces of the Games. And it should come as no surprise that the athlete has seen his profile rise in the four years since he took home a silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Games, where he also became famous for rescuing four pups and their mother (aka the Sochi Strays) and earned the nickname “Gus Swoon-worthy.”

But most notably, a few months after returning home from Russia, Kenworthy publicly came out as gay, in an October 2015 interview with Espn the Magazine. He quickly became recognized and celebrated as one of only a few out American male athletes, joining the ranks of soccer player Robbie Rogers, NBA pro Jason Collins, and NFL newbie Michael Sam, who all came out just a couple of years prior.

What followed was a surge of support from sports...
