Iatse President Matthew Loeb started the show and called on local 706 members to be generous “at this time”.
Loeb says: “There is a lot to celebrate the incredible work that the members of the local 706 do, their spirit of perseverance, appreciation for life, life in art and their determination to rebuild.”
He announced that the evening was dedicated to the Walsh/ Di Tolla/ Spivak Foundation to raise money to help those who are struck by the forest fires. Loeb said: “16 members of the local 706 lost their houses among the 300 Iatse members who also lost their houses in this devastating fire. I want to thank the leadership of the local Union for the great work they have done, to perform to help membership, not only from the local but of the members of the industry in general. ”
“The West Wing” actor Dulè Hill presented the prestigious Distingughed Artisan Award to Allison Janey. Hill announced that Janey was unable to be present because of a planning conflict that it would accept in her place, would be ‘Alexis Carrington’. “Alexis” got out and it was Janney.

‘The Substance’, which was nominated for three prizes and went home with two prizes, remains a strong favorite to win on March 2 when the Oscars are announced. Pierre-Olivier Persin, “The Substance” Special Make-up Effects Designer and VarietyThe Artisans Award -receiver, explained that director Coralie Fargeeat wanted to use practical effects where possible instead of digital CGI. “70-80% of what you see is practical,” he said Variety.
Francis Hannon, also nominated for an Oscar, created a checklist when transforming Cynthia Erivo in Elphaba for ‘Wicked’. The makeup could not look; The shadow of the green must compliment the “extremely beautiful” characteristics of Erivo; And the color needed to work in every light.
