Curio: Oscar Unsheets, a Final Roundup

Alexa here.  Even though my excitement over the Oscar nominees this year is a bit thin, the films are enlivened for me when I see them through the eyes of other artists. (Another reason the Academy should follow the lead of the BAFTAs and hire some illustrators already). In last week's Curio I posted some of the more interesting unsheets (a creative term for fan poster art) popping up on the web for Best Picture nominees The Help, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Moneyball, and The Descendants.  Without further ado, here are the best unsheets I've spied for the remaining nominees Hugo, War Horse, The Tree of Life, Midnight in Paris, and The Artist. Happy Oscar all!

Glad you featured Hunter Langston's The Artist poster. I saw that one a few days ago and I still smile at how wonderfully creative it is.

I think I want all of the Artist, Midnight in Paris, and War Horse ones here (and I really disliked War Horse - these posters are everything the movie wasn't: elegantly restrained and focused.)

I love the one for The Tree of Life. It's nowhere near as pretty as the film is, but I love that its tree recalls... er... well, a placenta. Pretty appropriate for the film!

In love with those posters for "The Artist"!
