These Best Picture Posters Deserve an Oscar of Their Own

The actual movie posters for this year's Best Picture nominees have nothing on these. The Academy teamed up with Gallery1988 (which we've written about before) to commission artists to create screen prints inspired by the top films. The final products are beautiful and evocative of the themes and moods of the movies they represent. While we like them all, we're partial to the haunting, reflective take on Beasts of the Southern Wild. You can learn more about the artists here.


Artist: Phantom City Creative
Movie: Les Misérables


Artist: Anthony Petrie
Movie: Argo


Artist: Rich Kelly
Movie: Beasts of the Southern Wild


Artist: Mark Englert
Movie: Django Unchained


Artist: Tom Whalen
Movie: Life of Pi


Artist: Joshua Budich
Movie: Silver Linings Playbook


Artist: Godmachine
Movie: Zero Dark Thirty


Amour & Lincoln @ the source

They did such a half assed job with the ZDT one, seriously.

I got invited to see it and I regretted going after 10 minutes of watching it. Plus it was too long.
warsawed 8th-Feb-2013 11:41 pm (UTC)
ia tbh

IDK if its bc I stan for the book and never loved the musical much, but that movie left me feeling stone cold
bienenkiste 8th-Feb-2013 11:44 pm (UTC)
OMG WE ARE ONE.

howlcosmiclove 9th-Feb-2013 01:30 am (UTC)
I love the musical, but the book >>>
rainbowtomatoe 8th-Feb-2013 11:45 pm (UTC)
lol for real.
lexy_ 9th-Feb-2013 12:05 am (UTC)
ngl, I had only ever heard "On My Own" and "I Dreamed a Dream" before, but I hated it. There was too much tuneless singing; not the kind of musical I was expecting.

whaaat fuque neaux
rosewood39 9th-Feb-2013 12:41 am (UTC)
I didn't care for it either, it was disapointing.
peddlestools 9th-Feb-2013 01:22 am (UTC)
mte
howlcosmiclove 9th-Feb-2013 01:27 am (UTC)
It was dissapointing. It took me two days to get through that shit lmao.
Anne was good though and Hugh was alright. Everybody else was either meh/ or straight up a mess (Russell specifically)
alacrities 9th-Feb-2013 02:14 am (UTC)
i liked it but can see why others didn't. personally i found anne hathaway's parts so boring
kindafunnysad 9th-Feb-2013 02:30 am (UTC)
worst thing i've seen since dreamgirls
lostinshalott 9th-Feb-2013 03:05 am (UTC)
I liked the first half but the second half was boring
antique_faery 9th-Feb-2013 04:08 am (UTC)
IA, unfortunately.
jungsoo 9th-Feb-2013 09:08 am (UTC)
I still have only seen the previews and it sounds awful tbh (It's not out yet in France...Maybe they should never relese it here, people are going to collapse seing it. Especially since no one knows about the musical on broadway and are expecting just an adaptation from the book lmao)
daria169 9th-Feb-2013 09:33 am (UTC)
why is that i see phil collins eyes staring back at me.
mushroom18 9th-Feb-2013 02:06 pm (UTC)
Horrible singing, horrible acting, close-ups that made me see right through people's nostrils, etc.
shadowpiranha 9th-Feb-2013 04:08 pm (UTC)
I have still not seen it. I have no wish to.
genbu_no_miko24 8th-Feb-2013 11:08 pm (UTC)
Love the SLP, and Les Miserables ones.
lovehimnot 8th-Feb-2013 11:08 pm (UTC)
Same! Those are also my favs
genbu_no_miko24 8th-Feb-2013 11:12 pm (UTC)
I think the SLP one featured here would have been better than the official one.
rainbowtomatoe 8th-Feb-2013 11:08 pm (UTC)
yes love the djano and life of pi ones
deltabean 8th-Feb-2013 11:14 pm (UTC)
same
moddchicc 8th-Feb-2013 11:09 pm (UTC)
The Les mis, Life of Pi and SLP ones are good
wigsnatcher 8th-Feb-2013 11:09 pm (UTC)
can i ask what the reason is that like nowadays there's only partial posts and the rest are at the source?

i feel like this wasn't always like this
ichdontthinksoo 8th-Feb-2013 11:10 pm (UTC)
We're not allowed to post full lists anymore bc that keeps people from visiting the source, I guess.
wigsnatcher 8th-Feb-2013 11:12 pm (UTC)
buhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok
affliction 8th-Feb-2013 11:21 pm (UTC)
tbh they underestimate the laziness of people

i like this post but i'm too lazy to look at the source for the rest, so
minderbinder 8th-Feb-2013 11:11 pm (UTC)
It's a new rule, Enjolras. I think it's so people have to click the source to get the full list of something instead of the source not getting the traffic. I think? :/
between_lights 8th-Feb-2013 11:11 pm (UTC)
sites were complaining about us ~stealing their hits because we'd just repost their lists, so now we can only post a few things from the lists and then link to the sources for the rest
avenger_aborted 9th-Feb-2013 01:47 am (UTC)
i never go to the source out of protest. a very silent protest
sunktheglow 8th-Feb-2013 11:09 pm (UTC)
The ZDT looks like a Laney Boggs' art project. Hi, lovely OP. <3
moddchicc 8th-Feb-2013 11:10 pm (UTC)
LMAO, I love this comparison

katesamaloo 8th-Feb-2013 11:50 pm (UTC)
perfect icon
mammary_glands 8th-Feb-2013 11:25 pm (UTC)
really? i think it's a little tacky and a little busy which is shocking given how simplistic it is already. it's like none of the components match.
lovelyeli 8th-Feb-2013 11:26 pm (UTC)
DDL is sew hawt even as lincoln tbh
chimbleysweep 9th-Feb-2013 12:02 am (UTC)
This doesn't fit the tone of the movie at all idk. It's a bit too graphic novel.
tiarlynn 9th-Feb-2013 01:20 am (UTC)
looks like some uncanny valley cgi to me tbh
loveumbrella 9th-Feb-2013 11:15 am (UTC)
