From Charlize Theron’s Monster moment to Nicole Kidman’s prosthetic nose in The Hours, a startling on-screen transformation is a guaranteed way to grab attention—and the awards season nods that come with it. This year’s Golden Globe nominees are no different: take January Vogue cover star Alicia Vikander, who replaced her soft brown waves with a metallic dome to play Ex Machina’s sci-fi siren, or Theron (again), who built up her biceps and shaved her head for Mad Max: Fury Road’s post-apocalyptic adventure. Their looks packed a punch, both on- and off-screen—though perhaps none were as shocking as Tilda Swinton in Trainwreck, who went, of all things, basic.
Not to be left out, this year’s Best Actor nominees, too, gamely played with their hair and wore makeup. In The Danish Girl, Eddie Redmayne transformed completely to tell the story of transgender artist Lili Elbe, wearing a beautiful auburn wig; Christian Bale, on the other hand, suffered a terrible bowl cut for The Big Short. But it was Leonardo DiCaprio who went all in for The Revenant, stepping fully into the 19th century: eating raw bison liver, fording frozen rivers, and growing an insane wilderness beard. It doesn’t get much more extreme than that.
