Italians Alessandro
Bertolazzi and Giorgio Gregorini won the best makeup Oscar at
the Academy Awards along with American Christopher Nelson for
their work on the movie Suicide Squad.
"I am Italian. This Oscar is for all the immigrants,"
Bertolazzi said as he received the award.
However, Italy's other big hope of the night, Gianfranco
Rosi's Fuocoammare (Fire At Sea) about the Mediterranean
asylum-seeker crisis failed to prevail in the best documentary
category, which went to O.J.: Made in America.
The awards ceremony was hit by a remarkable mix-up over who
had taken the best film prize, which went to Moonlight after it
had been mistakenly announced that La La Land had won.
