Matteo Garrone's Pinocchio got two Oscar nominations for costumes and make-up Monday while Laura Pausini's 'Io sì' (Seen) from the latest Sophia Loren film got a nod for best song. Pinocchio was nominated for the costumes by Italy's Massimo Cantini Parrini and make-up by Briton Mark Coulier, an Oscar winner for The Iron Lady and The Grand Budapest Hotel, as well as by Dalia Colli and Francesco Pegoretti.

Pinocchio was co-written, directed and co-produced by Garrone, and based on the 1883 classic book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi. The film stars child actor Federico Ielapi as the title character, Roberto Benigni as Geppetto, the late Gigi Proietti as Mangiafuoco, Rocco Papaleo and Massimo Ceccherini as The Cat and the Fox, and Marine Vacth as the adult Fairy with Turquoise Hair.
