If I had to extrapolate a “common denominator” from the Italian artistic team that won this year’s Academy Award for Best Achievement in Makeup and Hair Styling for David Ayer’s, Suicide Squad (2016), I would say first and foremost that they are all represented by The Milton Agency (with offices in Los Angeles and London).

Secondly, it looks like the careers of the two makeup artists, Alessandro Bertolazzi and Marta Roggero, as well as the one of the hairstylist, Giorgio Gregorini, changed for the better thanks to chance encounters. Last but not least, they all share the same respect and admiration for American filmmaker, David Ayer, who has been able to bring out the best in them (with this year’s Oscar as a demonstration).
