Despite a lot of backlash from fans and critics,
Suicide Squad is now one of the top seven finalists for the Academy Award for
Best Makeup and Hairstyling. As you could probably tell from the name, this award honors the film that has both the best makeup and hair-styling of the year. The DC Comics flick actually won three other noteworthy awards earlier in 2016: Margot Robbie won the Critics' Choice Award for
Best Actress in an Action Movie and
Suicide Squad won two Teen Choice Awards:
Choice AnTEENcipated Movie and
Choice Movie Actress: AnTEENcipated (Cara Delevigne).
Another finalist for this particular category is fellow comic book movie
Deadpool. This film is also no stranger to awards, having won two Critics' Choice Awards for
Best Comedy and
Best Actor in a Comedy, and has also been nominated for two Golden Globe Awards:
Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy and
Best Actor - Motion Picture Comedy.
The other finalists for the Academy Award for
Best Makeup and Hairstyling include:
The Dressmaker,
Florence Foster Jenkins,
Hail Caesar!,
A Man Called Ove, and
Star Trek Beyond. The Academy will announce the top three finalists on January 7.
Mad Max: Fury Road won the award last year.
