Comment on The 84th Academy Awards Poster

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released the poster for the upcoming 84th Academy Awards. The poster featured the famous Oscar Award and a tagline that read, “Life. Camera. Action.” The poster also has several movie images from several decades including “Forrest Gump,” “Gone with the Wind,” “The Godfather,” “Sound of Music,” “Driving Miss Daisy,” “Giant,” “Gladiator,” and “Casablanca.” The artwork was created by Anthony Goldschmidt, and Mark and Karen Crawford of Blood&Chocolate design firm. The theme is “Celebrate the movies in all of us,” which is meant to evoke emotional connections to the movies. “Whether it’s a first date or a holiday gathering with friends or family, movies are a big part of our memory,” said Academy President Tom Sherak.
