The BAFTA Award for Best Make Up and Hair is a special prize given out every year by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). This award celebrates the amazing work of make-up artists and hairstylists who create fantastic looks for characters in movies.

BAFTA is a famous British group that hosts big award shows for movies, TV shows, and even games. Since 1982, talented make-up artists and hairstylists have received this BAFTA award at a yearly ceremony. It's a way to say "great job!" to those who help actors look just right for their roles, whether it's making them look old, young, or like a fantasy creature!

What is the BAFTA Award for Best Make Up and Hair?

This award honors the best make-up and hair design in films. It's about how artists use make-up, wigs, and special effects to change actors' appearances. This can include everything from historical hairstyles to scary monster make-up.

How are Winners Chosen?

Each year, a group of experts at BAFTA watches many films. They look closely at the make-up and hair work. They pick a few films as nominees, which means they are in the running for the award. Then, from these nominees, they choose one winner. The award is given for films released in the previous year. For example, the 2023 award was for films released in 2023, but the ceremony happened in 2024.
