The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences unveiled the poster for the 84th Academy Awards on Wednesday morning – a poster which pays homage to several great Best Picture winners of the classic gold statue.
Under the line, “Life, Camera, Action,” the poster — created by graphic designer Anthony Goldschmidt and Mark and Karen Crawford of the design firm Blood & Chocolate — features the Oscar statue next to posters from “Gone with the Wind” (1939), “Casablanca” (1943), “Giant” (1956), “The Sound of Music” (1965), “The Godfather” (1972), “Driving Miss Daisy” (1989), “Forrest Gump” (1994) and “Gladiator” (2000).
Seven of the films won Best Picture, except for “Giant,” which earned George Stevens a Best Director statue.
The tagline on the poster is, “Celebrate the movies in all of us.”
“Whether it’s a first date or a holiday gathering with friends or family, movies are a big part of our memory,” Tom Sherka, Academy President, said in a statement released on Wednesday morning. “The Academy Awards not only honor the excellence of these movies, but also celebrate what they mean to us as a culture and to each of us individually.”
The 84th Academy Awards nominations will be announced live on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, at 5:30 AM PST in the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater.The Academy Awards, hosted by Billy Crystal, will air on Sunday, February 26, 2012 at 7 PM EST/4 PM PST on ABC.
