Suicide Squad directed by David Ayer and featuring some of DC Comics’ baddest villains on the planet just won an Oscar for Best Makeup and Hair Design.
This is the first Oscar the DC Extended Universe has won. [easyazon_link identifier=”B01M1XUQPR” locale=”US” tag=”bounintocomi-20″]Suicide Squad[/easyazon_link] defeated Star Trek Beyond and Swedish film A Man Called Ove.
Alessandro Bertolazzi, Giorgio Gregorini, and Christopher Nelson were the first-time winners.
Haters of the movie were quick to react on Twitter:
