Poster: “You’ve Never Seen Oscar Like This!”

As we showed you in last week’s article, “You’ve Never Seen Oscar Like This!” AMPAS had on display the Oscar Poster when I visited them in Beverly Hills for the Oscar nominations. So once again, here’s this year’s official poster for the 82nd Academy Awards. You know, I think its cute and I love that Baldwin and Martin are sitting on Oscar’s shoulders.

Beverly Hills, CA (February 8, 2010) 82nd Academy Awards co-hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin have landed on the shoulders of the Oscar in the official poster of the March 7 telecast. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced today that the poster is now available for purchase.

The 27×40-inch color poster is printed on premium quality, Forest Stewardship Certified paper. LA-based creative shop Omelet is responsible for the concept and execution of the design, which features tuxedo-clad Martin and Baldwin on the shoulders of a giant Oscar statuette. “You’ve Never Seen Oscar Like This” is the year’s campaign slogan.

Posters are available for purchase on the Academy’s Web site at http://www.oscars.org/academy/posters-books/posters/ or by calling 1-877-335-8936. Each poster is $25, plus shipping and handling. This is the only 82nd Academy Awards commemorative item available for sale to the public. Thousands of posters also will be distributed to a variety of venues worldwide.

Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2009 will be presented on Sunday, March 7, 2010, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center ®, and televised live by the ABC Television Network beginning at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET.
