Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards Sets Feb. 20, 2027 Ceremony at Westin Bonaventure
The 14th annual Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards will be held Saturday, February 20, 2027, returning to the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles, with nominations timed after the Primetime Emmy nominations process.
The Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild (MUAHS) has set the date for its 2027 awards program, scheduling the 14th annual MUAHS Awards ceremony for Saturday, February 20, 2027. The event will be held at the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles, according to the guild’s announced timeline for the coming year.
The announcement arrives after the Primetime Emmy nomination process for the current cycle concluded, with the film and television awards calendar increasingly aligning in the months that follow. Deadline reported that the guild has put “final touches” on its 2027 awards schedule, using the Emmy nominations as a pacing point for the broader awards season.
Deadline said the ceremony is expected to take place at the Westin Bonaventure and described the move as a return to that Los Angeles venue. The guild’s awards are designed to recognize professional achievement in make-up and hair for work across film and television, a segment of production that often depends on large teams and established workplace standards.
The guild’s timeline also positions the nominations phase in the period after the major network awards nominations are in hand. That sequencing can matter for productions that rely on the awards pipeline to coordinate promotion, press screenings, and participation by creative teams working across multiple projects.
While the guild did not change the core date-and-venue headline in the reporting, the scheduling update is part of a broader pattern of awards bodies publishing future calendars to give studios, talent, and production teams lead time for logistics and eligibility tracking.
For the industry, the MUAHS Awards schedule is one of the early fixed markers that can influence how make-up and hair teams manage submission deadlines and internal documentation, including credit verification and work characterization required by most awards processes.
The guild’s next public steps, following the published ceremony date, are expected to come through its formal nomination and awards communications closer to the February event, including instructions for eligible work and the categories that will be included in the 2027 ballot.
With the ceremony date now set for February 20, 2027, productions featuring eligible make-up and hair work can plan around a clearer midpoint in the awards-season calendar as the cycle moves from nominations to ceremonies and industry recognition.
