Lisa westcott and julie dartnell win first oscar in new makeup and hairstyling category

Previously known as the Academy Award for Makeup - with hairdressers falling under the same category as makeup artists - the award had its name changed last year year following a high-profile campaign spearheaded by Angelina Jolie's hairdresser of choice, Ted Gibson.

"It's quite overwhelming," Lisa said in the duo's acceptance speech. "But we can only accept a little bit of this, it's all down to our fantastic team."

Ted and his campaigners are still looking to see hairdressing recognised as a category of its own with the We Need an Oscar for Hair! Facebook page - find out more and show your support at the site.
