85th Oscar Makeup Predictions (2012-2013 Awards Season) (2/24/12)

We have seen a few pictures from the makeup contenders already leaked around the internet, and there are several biopics and period pieces coming out this year as well. I have tried to balance some of the early press that superhero films get with the Academy’s history for more independent fare, but I’m still not entirely sure that I’ve struck the right balance.
