The answer I was looking for is: Every single one of them is an Academy Award nominee because of the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category.
Since 2012, the Best Makeup category was officially expanded to include hair.
Or, if we are really intent on keeping the Best Makeup Oscar, how about expanding the nominees from three to five, so more great makeup (like IT or Shape of Water this year) is spotlighted?
Tootsie earned 10 Oscar nominations in 1982, but didn’t receive a Best Makeup nod.
