Oscar’s 80th- The nominations are in!
Let the will they or won’t they begin, hopefully the writers’ strike will be resolved in time for Oscar’s 80th. No doubt the show will go on regardless but let’s hope that we don’t end up with an Oscar show that resembles the Golden Globes. As for this year’s poster we were expecting something brilliant for the 80th instead we have the uninspired flashbulb flanked forward facing statue. Kind of looks like a Star Wars poster which is not surprising considering it was designed by Drew Struzan who created the one sheets for all of the Star Wars films. So being the giant piece of fluffy cake that we are, we decided to put our spectacular Photoshop skills to the test to morph the Oscar Poster with it’s separated at birth Star Wars Poster. Twinsies!
Here is our award winning (as determined by our distinguished panel of designers/cats) Oscar poster that should have been:
Exceptional, no? Just sayin’.
