GARY OLDMAN Distinguished Artisan Award We will be presenting our Distinguished Artisan statue to one of the most prolific actors of this generation, Gary Oldman. Gary is known as a chameleon, an actor who changes his appearance, his voice, everything about himself from film to film. Every make-up artist and hair stylist wishes they could always work with actors like Oldman. He has worked with the finest artisans in the world. He collaborates with the team and probably knows more about make-up and hair than any other actor. He appreciates and allows the team to do their job, to prepare properly and take the time they need to apply their crafts without compromise. He does not have tolerance for actors who do not allow the artists to do their job to its fullest. He is not one to be on his cellphone, have contraptions tied to his head, eat, have animated discussions or fidget around with others outside the team that is transforming him. He uses his rehearsal time to do his job so it does not interfere with our process. He wants it done perfectly and gives everyone their professional consideration. Study the films he has completely altered his appearance with the talents of the make- up and hair teams: Darkest Hour, Sid and Nancy, Hannibal, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Dark Knight and dozens of other films. When you consider the hundreds and hundreds of hours he has spent allow- ing us to transform him, we are delighted to present him with our Distinguished Artisan Award to show our appreciation. BEST PICTURE BEST PRODUCTION DESIGN Samuel Deshors • PRODUCTION DESIGNER Violante Visconti • SET DECORATOR ★★★★ (HIGHEST RATING) "LUCA GUADAGNINO'S STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT— THERE'S MAGIC IN EVERY FRAME. A NEW CLASSIC AND ONE OF THE YEAR'S VERY BEST FILMS." -Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
