The Saturn Awards, which are the oldest film-specialized awards to reward science fiction, fantasy, and horror achievements (the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation is the oldest award for science fiction and fantasy films), included the category for the first time at the 2nd Saturn Awards for the 1973 film year, eight years before the introduction of the Academy Award for Best Makeup; the winner was An American Werewolf in London (1981).[1]
Rick Baker currently holds the record for most wins with seven and for the most nominations with seventeen.
