Curio: And The Nominees Are

Alexa in Best Picture, Curio, Oscars (13), movie posters

Alexa here with your weekly art appreciation post. This being Oscar week, all the alternative poster designs for the nominated films are making the rounds: see the nominated films posterized as Legos, or as one-liners!  I prefer a less gimmicky, graphic-artist-inspired approach myself.  Unlike last year, the Oscar site does not feature alternative poster designs; I do wish the Academy would follow the lead of the BAFTAs on this.  

To fill the void here are my favorite designs for each of the nominated films.  Happy Oscars everyone! 

 

 

American Hustle by Harry Movie Art.

 

BAFTA design for 12 Years a Slave by La Boca. Nebraska by Geminianum.


Captain Phillips by Derek Eads.


Dallas Buyers Club by Hunter Langston.

Her by Sam Smith at The Dissolve.


Gravity by Peter Stults.


Philomena by Joe Fries.


Wolf of Wall Street by Me Myself and i.
