Oscar Posters
So, we just found out who got nominated for the Oscars and I’m sure I’ll blabber about that soon enough. But while at Oscar.com, I noticed they had a gallery of Best Pic posters…and that some things stood out.
First, how great is the poster for Tom Jones:

That is one great poster.
But this…really:

That poster is about the only place people smile in this film. It’s almost deceptive. “Come see the happy people dealing with horrible, horrible, saddening, melancholy existence after WWII!”
