ACADEMY AWARD POSTERS BY GALLERY 1988
In a rare example of the Academy doing something right, they’ve teamed with the artists at LA’s Gallery 1988 for a series of posters celebrating this year’s best picture nominees. the results offer a little something for everybody (or everything for fans of comic books), though the great tragedy here might be that the most beautiful work is reserved for Les Mis.
