Here is what the page “Variety's 2026 Artisans to Watch: 'Obsession' Makeup Head, 'Project Hail Mary' Animation S” contains. Variety has unveiled its 2026 Artisans to Watch list, spotlighting the behind-the-scenes talent who brought some of the year's biggest films to life. From the makeup head on the low-budget horror hit 'Obsession' to the animation supervisor behind the sci-fi epic 'Project Hail Mary' and the composer of 'La Bola Negra,' the honorees represent the next generation of craft excellence.
The list arrives as moviegoers flocked back to theaters for blockbusters like 'The Odyssey,' 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' 'Toy Story 5,' 'Michael,' and 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie,' as well as breakout indie 'Backrooms.' These artisans are essential to realizing directors' visions, even if their names rarely appear on the marquee. Variety's annual recognition aims to change that by highlighting the makeup artists, animators, composers, and other craftspeople whose work defines the cinematic experience.
