Rick Baker

This is a humble tribute to The Master of Special Effects Makeup Rick Baker. He is known for his incredibly realistic creature effects. In 1981 he was the very first recipient of the Oscar for Best Make-Up for An American Werewolf in London (1981) when the category was first introduced.

He holds the record for the most Academy Award wins and nominations bestowed upon makeup artists. He has been nominated a total of twelve times with seven wins

The thing that I find so fulfilling about my job is I like the fact that you start with something that's just an idea in your head. You read the script and right away you visualize something and you see that thing that at one point was just an idea in your head looking real and alive. It's exciting and is a little bit like being Dr. Frankenstein. I want to scream "It's alive!" - Rick Baker
