News -- Makeup Oscar Finalists

The Academy has released the shortlist of 7 finalists for this year's Best Makeup Oscar. In my humble opinion, they left off some SERIOUSLY good work, particularly in the films Drag Me to Hell, Inglourious Basterds, Harry Potter 6, and Watchmen. But the 3 nominees will be taken from these finalists...

District 9
Il Divo
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
The Road
Star Trek
The Young Victoria

If I had to predict right now, I would say...

District 9
Imaginarium
Star Trek

as those are the most popular and previously lauded choices going in. However, the makeup branch is never afraid to throw a WTF in their choices...look no further than A Beautiful Mind, Norbit, Master & Commander, The Sea Inside, and Cinderella Man for examples.
