Best Make-Up Finalists

As the year goes on, the predictions get weirder and weirder. The Academy has announced their seven finalists for Best Make-Up, which are:

Albert Nobbs
Anonymous
The Artist
Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Hugo
The Iron Lady

Well, my thoughts after seeing these are as follows: Yeah, I had to look up what the hell Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life was, too.

The Artist and Hugo are going to be VERY well loved come Oscar night. Two movies about the glory years of silent film, so if they both get included, it would be two movies that are portraying the same time period.

I guess Anonymous isn't completely out of the race yet. All those beards and wigs must have helped it get remembered.

Harry Potter could sneak in here, but then again, so could The Artist...or Hugo. At this point, I would have gone said the surefire nominees would have been The Artist, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II and Hugo. Then I looked up what Gainsbourg was about. The exact summary on imdb reads:

"A glimpse at the life of French singer Serge Gainsbourg, from growing up in 1940s Nazi-occupied Paris through his successful song-writing years in the 1960s to his death in 1991 at the age of 62."

Fifty years of aging? Holocaust? Foreign? Yeah, this is going to be a wtf make-up nominee as they've done the past two years (Il Divo? Barney's Version? The Way Back? Remember those? Of course you don't.). So, which one do I think is going to get left out from my original three choices? Well, I'm gonna go with Hugo getting left off, but it could sneak back in, so my choices are:

The Artist
Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II

With Hugo being a potential upsetter to The Artist.
