The Next Best Picture Podcast

"Promising Young Woman" has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards including Best Picture, a SAG Award for Best Actress for Carey Mulligan and six Critics Choice Awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress & Best Original Screenplay. One of the reasons why the film has been herald as one of the best of the year is due to the highly detailed and well thought out crafts. The Next Best Picture team took turns partaking in interviews with various members from the crew over the past few weeks and we are happy to have them all here together for your enjoyment. First up is Nicole Ackman's interview with the Costume Designer, Nancy Steiner. After that we have Daniel Howat's interview with the film's cinematographer Benjamin Kracun. Next we have Dan Bayer's interview with the production designer, Michael Perry. And finally, we have Will Mavity interviewing the Makeup and Hairstyling team, Daniel Curet and Angie Wells. There's a lot of ground to cover and I think once you're done you will understand why Emerald Fennell's directorial debut is deserving of all of its awards attention.

"Pinocchio" was one of the ten films to be shortlisted at this year's Academy Awards for Best Makeup & Hairstyling. With a staggered release that has spanned back to 2019, it's not surprising if many haven't heard or seen this film yet. However, the work by Prosthetic Makeup Designer, Mark Coulier, and Makeup Artist, Dalia Colli, is truly a powerhouse and should not be underestimated when looking at this year's crop of contenders. Imaginative and varied in its application and use, the makeup and hairstyling of "Pinocchio" is a detailed sight to behold. The makeup team was kind enough to talk to us about their work on the film.
