Deadpool has been nominated for several Golden Globes, and Suicide Squad has had its soundtrack nominated for a Grammy. Now, both films are possibly in the running for Oscars, as they’ve been named on the Academy Awards nominations shortlist for Makeup.

The Wrap reports that the Oscars’ shortlist for Makeup includes the following possible nominees:

  • Deadpool
  • Suicide Squad
  • Star Trek Beyond
  • Florence Foster Jenkins
  • The Dressmaker
  • Hail Caesar!
  • A Man Calle Ove

Both Deadpool and Suicide Squad are now on home video. The Academy Awards will be on in the first quarter of 2017; nominees will be announced early on in 2017.
