Last week, BAFTA premiered special posters for their Best Picture nominees. Today, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences had followed suit by teaming up with Gallery1988 and various artists to create posters for this year's Best Picture Oscar nominees. There are some impressive posters, and I'm curious to see if they're going to go on sale at some point. The Academy's website lists the dimensions and type of production (screen print), which leads me to believe that these might be available for purchase some day. I'm sure there are plenty of readers who would love to get their hands on Mark Englert's print for Django Unchained. [Update: Gallery1988 has tweeted the following: "G1988 x The Academy. Official. 2/14 - 2/17. More soon." so it looks like you should get your wallets ready, and keep an eye on their official website.]
Hit the jump to check out the posters. The Academy Awards will be held on February 24th at 7pm EST on ABC.
