Academy Blunder on Revenge Nomination Posted By Mark on February 2, 2006
While Revenge of the Sith picked up its nomination in the makeup category the other day, an error has left both the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences red faced, and makeup artist Annette Miles downhearted.
Miles, who contributed to Episode III, was incorrectly mentioned as one of two names nominated for the movie's work, when it should have been another Australian, Nikki Gooley, along with Dave Elsey. The error was not picked up until after the nominations were made, and the information passed on to journalists worldwide.
It wasn't the best of days in the end for Annette, who also missed out on being mentioned for fellow makeup nominee The Chronicles of Narnia, of which she also had a major hand in.
