The Best Makeup and Hairstyling award has been one of the most unpredictable awards to date, as there are barely any precursor awards. The academy usually picks the best makeup based on how much prosthetics are used throughout film and they never go for subtle makeup.

The Screen Actors Guild Awards have always been a good indicator of who the acting awards will go to at the Oscars. However when it comes to the Ensemble award it can be unpredictable. Sometimes the SAG awards go with the films that will win the Oscar or with a film they want to award the actors for. However a win at the SAG can put a film in the front running position. Recent best picture winners that won the ensemble award include "The King's Speech," "Slumdog Millionaire," "No Country for Old men," and "Crash."
The Screen Actors Guild Awards have always been a good indicator of who the acting awards will go to at the Oscars.

Still the actors who are currently frontrunners for their respective categories were nominated and should continue to get a huge boost from a SAG win.
