Lord of the Rings, Avatar, Sherlock, X-Men First Class are just a handful of the films that Queenstown-based hair, makeup and prosthetic expert Davina Lamont has worked on.

Her credits also include homegrown projects like Deadlands, Top of the Lake and Beyond the Edge.

But it's her craft on a new drama about Albert Einstein, starring Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush, that has earned her an Emmy nomination.
