How ‘Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom’ Production Designer Used a Steel Mill to Re-Create 1920s Chicago

The 2021 Oscars changed up the order of the awards, saving best actor and actress for the end of the night, after the award for the top prize of best picture, and if viewers turned off their TVs after Nomadland captured its expected best picture win, they missed two big surprises.

The stylists of made history at the 93rd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday. Makeup artist Sergio Lopez-Rivera, hair department head Mia Neal, and Viola Davis' personal hairstylist, Jamika Wilson, took home the statue for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, with the latter pairing becoming the first-ever Black stylists to win in the category.

The makeup and hairstyling team for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom — Mia Neal, Jamika Wilson, and Sergio Lopez-Rivera — have taken the Oscar in the category, an historic win as Neal and Wilson are the first Black nominees, and winners, in the space.

Congratulations to ALL 2021 Nominees and Winners.
