BEIJING, Dec. 26(Xinhuanet) -- The 2007 Oscars poster has been unveiled last Tuesday, and the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences have opted for one which features dozens of quotes from movies of yesteryear.
Films like Casablanca, The Wizard of Oz, Lord of the Rings, Sideways and even Brokeback Mountain are quoted on the one-sheet.
"Stella!" "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" "Snap out of it!" "You had me at hello." Dozens of the most memorable and quotable lines from motion pictures will share the 79th Academy Awards poster canvas with Oscar.
All of the lines showcased in the poster except one are from films that have received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, Writing, or both, between 1936 and 2005.
The concept and design for the poster was created for the Academy by TBWAChiatDay Los Angeles. Photographer Albert Watson captured the Oscar statuette featured on the poster.
The 27x40 poster, printed on premium recycled paper, uses a black canvas and highlights the quotes in gold metallic ink, each in a distinctive typeface to reflect the movie it represents.
More than 65,000 posters will be distributed worldwide. The poster will be available for purchase through March 12, 2007, on the Academy's Website at http://www.oscars.org/publications/.
Nominations for the 79th Academy Awards will be announced on Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2007, at 5:30 a.m. PST in the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
