TV personality and professional dancer Val Chmerkovskiy (“Dancing with the Stars”) hosted the red-carpet pre-show. Julie Socash, Local 706President, presided over the awards ceremony.
Diana Nyad, the celebrated long-distance swimmer and subject of “Nyad,” presented the Distinguished Artisan Award to legendary actress Annette Bening, whose most recent Academy Award nomination is for her starring role in “Nyad.” As a Tony Award and five-time Academy Award nominee, and two-time Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild Award winner, Bening was feted for her consistent collaboration with Local 706 Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists and has richly enhanced and created memorable characters throughout her career. Unfortunately, Bening came down with COVID and Diane Nyad accepted the award on her behalf.
The esteemed Vanguard Award was bestowed upon Michael Westmore, Oscar- and Emmy-winning make-up artist known for his iconic work on “Rocky,” “Star Trek,” “Mask” and “Raging Bull.” Westmore’s illustrious career spans over five decades and has left an indelible mark on the entertainment industry. From the breathtaking beauty of Elizabeth Taylor to the bloody Rocky series, to the Romulans in Star Trek, Westmore’s artistry has captivated audiences and set the standard for make-up and hair styling in film and television. Presenting the award to Westmore were “Star Trek” stars Terry Farrell (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”) and Armin Shimerman (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”), both also producing a documentary with 455 Films called “Makeup Man,” which chronicles Michael’s incredible journey and a story of the Westmore dynasty. A highlight of the evening was when Dolph Lundgren (“Rocky VI,” “Rocky Balboa”) appeared as a surprise to Westmore.
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,” received the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by Tony- and Emmy-winning actor Martin Short (“Only Murders in the Building”), who collaborated with Haney on “Primetime Glick” as Jiminy Glick and on Broadway including ”Fame Becomes Me,” “The Big Lie” and “Into the Woods,” among many other productions.
Ora T. Green, Emmy-nominated hairstylist known for her work on “Star Trek: Nemesis,” “Blade” and “Good Times,”was bestowed the Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by Emmy- and Grammy-winning veteran “Star Trek” actor LeVar Burton, who worked with Green on “Star Trek: Nemesis,” and Marla Gibbs (“The Jeffersons”), a fellow Norman Lear comedy trailblazer since the 1980s.
Additional presenters included John Brotherton (“Fuller House”), Rachael Harris (“The Hangover,” “Suits”), Jenna Johnson (“Dancing with the Stars”), Kate Linder (“The Young and the Restless”), Mayan Lopez (“Lopez vs Lopez”), Lacretta (“Second Act”), Nyambi Nyambi (“Mike & Molly”), Tom Payne (“Walking Dead,” “Prodigal Son”), Karen Pittman (“The Morning Show,” “And Just Like That”), Andrea Savage (“I’m Sorry,” “VEEP”), and Helena-Alexis Seymour (“Chronicles of Jessica Wu”), among others.
Another highlight of the evening was a moving “In Memoriam” segment performed by long-time Local 706 member Angie Wells. Returning as producers of this year’s MUAHS Awards (#MUAHSawards) were IngleDodd Media and Erick Weiss of Honeysweet Creative.
