text: But the Oscars don’t tend to go to your average, everyday makeup, glamorous though it may be. They prefer to go for the biggest, most outlandish makeup imaginable. The makeup artists on A Man Called Ove did some fascinating work, subtly aging the characters over a period of years. Perhaps too subtle to win the Oscar.
  On the other end of the scale, the Suicide Squad makeup was anything but subtle. I’ll grant that the Killer Croc effects were great, but do we really want to say the words “Academy Award winning film, Suicide Squad?”
