Dallas Buyers Club won an Oscar for makeup done on a budget of $250.
Dallas Buyers Club was made for around $5 million and shot in roughly 25 days. Head of makeup Robin Mathews has said her entire department budget was $250, spent mostly at ordinary drugstores.
The film received six Academy Award nominations and won three, including Best Makeup and Hairstyling for Mathews and Adruitha Lee — likely the smallest budget ever behind a winner in that category.
