Gregory Earl Cannom

Greg Cannom, Kate Biscoe & Patricia Dehaney won the 2019 Academy Award in the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category for their work on Vice (2018).

As of 2022, he has contributed with the makeup department of seven films that were nominated for the Best Picture Oscar: Titanic (1997), Révélations (1999), Un homme d'exception (2001), Master and Commander : De l'autre côté du monde (2003), Babel (2006), L'Étrange Histoire de Benjamin Button (2008) and Vice (2018). Of those, Titanic (1997) and Un homme d'exception (2001) are winners in the category.

In 2023, Variety reported that a GoFundMe had been set up for Cannom, who at the time was experiencing "major health issues," including a case of nerve damage from shingles and a partial amputation of one of his legs. The fundraiser did ultimately raise $100,000 for the artist, surpassing its initial goal of $75,000.

In 2005, Cannom won a Technical Achievement Award for "the development of their special modified silicone material for makeup applications used in motion pictures," a proprietary modified silicone makeup system that advanced makeup appliance techniques in film.

Greg Cannom was the recipient of several accolades, including five Academy Awards and two Saturn Awards, and has been nominated for four Primetime Emmy Awards and four BAFTA Awards.
