The 80th Annual Academy Awards show is the Super Bowl of Hollywood. Except instead of throwing touchdown passes, they compete for Oscar.

 

At this years show, the competition for Best Achievement in Makeup was as stiff as a dry martini.  The contenders in the category are the talented makeup teams behind  Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Norbit and La Vie En Rose.

 

In the end, the makeup artist team for La Vie En Rose, Jan Archibald and Didier Lavergne took this years top  honors.

 

The makeup masters transformed actress Marion Cotil

lard from age 18 to 47 in the film.  La Vie en Rose is a French-language biopic on the legendary singer Edith Piaf. 

 

A clearly shocked Archibald expressed in her speech, “I'm overwhelmed. It's just amazing. I have a lot of people to thank. My assistants... worked very hard and I owe a lot to them. .. It's so exciting to be here.... Thank you.

 

This is the first Oscar win for the dynamic duo.
