How The Grinch Stole Christmas Actually Won An Oscar For This

You see, although Screen Crush calls it a bad movie, the site can't help but note How the Grinch Stole Christmas won on Oscar for best makeup — Carrey's look was incredible by anyone's standards and even the Academy's in this case.

Unfortunately the makeup was so elaborate, it turned out to be quite uncomfortable for the actor, with the yellow contact lenses being his least favorite according to Screenrant. The runner up for the least enjoyable feature of his costuming? That would be dyed yak hair, which made up most of the Grinch suit. Worst of all perhaps is that Carrey had to don the look for a total of 92 days, which begs the question: Why didn't he win an Oscar for tolerance?

But alas it was head makeup director on the film, Kazuhiro Tsuji who took home a statue — who apparently really deserved his achievement due to the extreme difficulty of working with the movie's lead actor.
