Really? Click is being considered? Wow, what a slap in the face to movies such as Marie Antoinette which had great makeup. Nevertheless, the chances of Click actually getting the nom out of the seven contenders announced by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences today is slim.
My choice in the matter would have to be Pan’s Labyrinth, only because the fantastic looks in Pirates was primarily generated using CGI. Check out the complete list and make your own determination.
The films are listed below in alphabetical order:
- Apocalypto
- Click
- Pan’s Labyrinth
- Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
- The Prestige
- The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
- X-Men The Last Stand
