the contributions of make-up and hair styling professionals to the entertainment industry. These awards highlight the technical and creative skills required to enhance storytelling and character development. The success of 'Sinners' and 'Frankenstein' at the awards could influence their chances at the Oscars, as MUAHS winners often go on to win the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling. This recognition can boost the films' profiles and potentially increase their viewership and box office performance.
