Annette Bening will be honored with the Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylist Guild’s Distinguished Artisan Award at their 11th annual ceremony, Feb 18 at The Beverly Hilton.
Known for a body of work that includes American Beauty, The Kids Are All Right and Bugsy, Bening has earned two Screen Actors Guild Awards, two Golden Globes, two Tony nominations, and earlier this week, her fifth Academy Award nom for her role in Nyad.
Bening recently starred in Jerry and Marge Go Large, and can be seen in the upcoming Chris Pine-helmed Poolman alongside Danny DeVito and Pine.
“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 Guild president Julie Socash. “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.”
The Distinguished Artisan Award is presented to an artist whose “consistent collaboration with Local 706 Make-up Artists and Hair Stylists has richly enhanced and created memorable characters throughout their career.”
Also during the Feb. 18 awards ceremony, make-up artist Michael Westmore (Rocky) will be honored with the Guild’s Vanguard Award. Make-up artist Kevin Haney (Driving Miss Daisy) and Ora T. Green (Good Times) will receive Lifetime Achievement Awards.
