The Make-up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild (MUAHS) Awards has announced that Oscar-nominated actress Annette Bening will be honored with the Distinguished Artisan Award at their 11th annual ceremony, presented by Ardell, on February 18 at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, CA.
The Distinguished Artisan Award is presented to an artist whose consistent collaboration with Local 706 make-up artists and hair stylists has enhanced and created memorable characters throughout their career.
Bening – known for her performances in iconic films such as "American Beauty" and "The Kids Are All Right” – has been a trailblazer in the entertainment industry for over three decades. She is a Tony Award and five-time Academy Award nominee, and two-time Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award winner. Her most recent Academy Award nomination is for her role in "Nyad," directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin.
"Annette Bening brings fascinating characters to life on the screen with each stunning performance and has won the hearts of moviegoers around the world," said Julie Socash, president of the Make-up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild. "Her talent and versatility as an actress, from a beguiling Hollywood starlet to a driven marathon swimmer, have been matched by her commitment to her craft, making her a true inspiration to all guild make-up artists and hair stylists. We are excited to celebrate her achievements and contributions to the entertainment industry."
On stage, Bening was in Jack O'Brian's Broadway revival of Arthur Miller's classic "All My Sons," for which she earned a Tony Award nomination. She also received a Tony Award nomination for her role in "Coastal Disturbances." Previous stage credits include "King Lear," "Ruth Draper Monologues," "The Cherry Orchard," 'Talking Heads and "Media," among others.
Michael Westmore, Oscar- and Emmy-winning make-up artist known for his iconic work on "Rocky," "Star Trek," "Mask" and "Raging Bull," will be honored with the Vanguard Award. Kevin Haney, Oscar- and Emmy-winning make-up artist best known for his work on "Driving Miss Daisy," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" and "Hocus Pocus 2"; and Ora T.
