Which David Fincher film won the Academy Award for Best Makeup?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button won the Academy Award for Best Makeup among David Fincher's films.

Released in 2008, the film required extensive makeup work to portray Brad Pitt's character aging backward, from an elderly-looking newborn to a young adult. Makeup artist Greg Cannom won the Oscar for Best Makeup at the 81st Academy Awards in 2009.

The achievement was part of the film's three Oscar wins, alongside Best Art Direction and Best Visual Effects. Its aging effects combined traditional prosthetic makeup with digital effects, especially for facial transformations that could not be achieved practically alone.

A common mix-up is The Dark Knight, which also competed in the 2008 Best Makeup field but did not win. Benjamin Button received 13 nominations overall, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor.
