2021 Muah Awards: ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ and ‘Birds of Prey’ Are Top Makeup, Hairstyling Winners
“Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom” captured the top period feature prizes for makeup and hairstyling at the 8th annual Muahs Guild Awards Saturday night, making it the prohibitive Oscar favorite for the dramatic transformation of Viola Davis as the titular pioneering blues singer. Davis, who landed her fourth Oscar nomination as the sexy, subversive Rainey — the most of any Black actress — was boldly uncompromising in demanding verisimilitude for Netflix’s adaptation of the August Wilson play. Davis was fitted with gold teeth, charcoal-like makeup, and a wig made of horsehair.
Winning both contemporary makeup and hairstyling feature honors at the virtual ceremony was Warner Bros./DC’s “Birds of Prey. He recreated the look of real wooden puppets for the titular hero (played by (Federico Ielapi) and his theater friends by using every prosthetic technique available.

Catherine O’Hara won her second career Emmy Award on Sunday night. At the 72nd annual Emmy Awards, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the actress took home the outstanding lead actress in a comedy series prize. Her win was the first of many Schitt’s Creek wins for the night.
“Thank you to the members of the Television Academy for nominating me alongside these very cool women and for topping off this fine evening with this trophy,” she said upon receiving her award.
O’Hara stars in the PopTv comedy as the fashionable Rose family matriarch Moira Rose. She acts alongside Annie Murphy, Dan Levy and Eugene Levy. During her acceptance speech O’Hara thanked the Levys for providing her with an opportunity to expand her career as an older actress.
“I will be forever grateful to Eugene and Daniel Levy for storing upon me the opportunity to play a woman of a certain age,...

“Moira is drama!” exclaims personal makeup artist Lucky Bromhead when discussing Catherine O’Hara’s iconic character from “Schitt’s Creek.” Personal hairstylist Ana Sorys concurs that “Moira is all about the mood.” These two creatives help O’Hara transform into the wacky, self-absorbed matriarch of the Rose family. Both Bromhead and Sorys received Emmy nominations for their work on the final season of the hit series. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
They compete in different categories at the Emmys, but both artists are nominated for their efforts in the series finale, “Happy Ending.” At the wedding of David (Dan Levy) and Patrick (Noah Reid), Moira enters in an extravagant Pope themed outfit. Her eyes sparkle amid heavy eye shadow. Her hair nearly reaches the floor, and a braid of it encircles the base of her hat.

Sorys admits that the brim of “hat hair” was difficult to get right.

The 2020 Emmy nominees have been announced, and Schitt's Creek is finally getting the love it deserves. The Canadian sitcom nabbed a total of 15 (!) nominations for its sixth and final season, with Catherine O'Hara, Annie Murphy, Dan Levy, and Eugene Levy each earning nods for their Rose family roles. We'll raise a glass of Herb Ertlinger fruit wine to that - but no guarantee we'll actually be gagging down all of said glass.
The hilarious and heartwarming Pop TV series scored its first four Emmy nominations last year, although it didn't wind up taking home any golden trophies during the show - and this year marks its last chance to secure one. Moira Rose did say her favorite season is award season, so here's to hoping that helps O'Hara finally get the win she's undoubtedly earned for portraying the beloved Jazzagal with a profound vocabulary and puzzling accent.

Moira Rose, the family matriarch of cult classic “Schitt’s Creek,” is known for several things: her pronunciation of the word “bebe,” her love for her TV family (and sometimes Alexis) and her countless vibrant wigs. Played by the always delightful Catherine O’Hara, each episode (and wig) is a joy to witness on screen.
“I think when you try on any wig, a wig can make you feel a lot of different feelings and put you in a lot of different moods.” O’Hara told Variety. “We will pick wigs just according to moods Moira is in… Moira gives the wigs personality opposed to the other away around.”
The woman behind Moira’s wig-gallery is hairstylist Ana Sorys, who sat down with O’Hara to breakdown the nuances of wig styling, and the origin of Moira Rose’s iconic lewks.
In celebration, Variety rounded up a few of favorites:...
