With his Academy Award win, along with David Malinowski and Lucy Sibbick, for their work in "Darkest Hour," Kazuhiro Tsuji became the first Asian individual to win the Oscar for hair and makeup.
But the makeup artist, whom Gary Oldman pulled out of retirement for this project featuring the actor as Winston Churchill, doesn't focus on his identity and being a first.
"I don't want to think about [being] Asian," he said backstage at the Academy Awards. "I'm just doing what I love to do. As soon as we start to think about the race we are, it's not good. It doesn't work well."
