Interesting, other than Education and A Serious Man, pretty commercial wide release films.

Odd to see a picture pull in 2 acting nominations (Invictus) and nothing anywhere else on the board!

Actually, after looking through all the 1-sheets on that site back to the 20s, I was surprised to find out how many lack-luster posters there were for the best picture winners.  There were a handful that were really cool of course, but probably only 1 in 5, if not 1 in 10.

You know, that's a good point for a lot of the "older poster" or "classic poster" clan to realize if they don't already.  There's a lot of crap out there for the older material as for the newer material. It's just that time has weeded most of it out.  I see folks bellyaching on MoPo about "I gotta buy an Avatar poster to complete my best picture collection-  blech...." and it pisses me off a bit.  There's some worse stuff out there than the avatar onesheet.

Not seen any of them, but if I had to select on poster alone.....'Precious'.

  Are there people on MoPo that have all the others already... including the likes of Wings, Grand Hotel, All Quiet, It Happened One Night and Casablanca!?!

I believe so.  I know there is at least one MOPO member/collector who has them all.

[eatbrie]

Wasn't he trying to sell them a while back?  I wonder what happened to that.

This is one of my pet projects.  I want to get posters for all the Academy Awards nominated movies, so 5 of year, 10 in the early years.  I pretty much have the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s covered.  Still working on the 60s, one piece at a time.  It's hard, because I'm also trying to get different designs from different countries.

This is 8 years of collecting:

Yes...I'm thinking now maybe it was award winners and not nominees?

[eatbrie]

It was AA winners.  I never go to Mopo, but I remember him posting on NS4 and trying to sell off his collection.  Something quite amazing at a price also amazing.

At auction it would probably be $200K easy, even in this economy.  I can only imagine what they were asking for a private sale!

The owner of this fantastic collection is a member of this forum but he has never posted - I would wager he has next to no interest in most of the posters or subjects discussed. I believe his collection is second only to the Academy's - they are missing one original release US one sheet - Cavalcade - he needs that one and I think Wings and Cimarron also.

Like Thierry, this is one of my collecting themes although I prefer to concentrate on original release one sheets and quads with country of origin and artwork being influencing factors.

Well good luck to you sir on your journey! 

I made an effort to simply watch all the best picture winners when I was in college and I actually came to a similar conclusion.  Each year I would see one film win out over what were often times superior films IMO.  I then decided it wasn't enough to just watch the winners, but also the rest of the nominees as well.  That has been a much longer pursuit and I'm still not done; but I have seen a ton of good movies!

Well, if there are posters out there that the Academy doesn't even have, I'm sure my $200K estimate is way, way low!

Cool stuff though... I hope they decide to start posting on this forum.  It would be amazing to see the collection in question.  I can't even imagine what else they have!

We need a little old skool lovin here!  Maybe we should start a pre-Star Wars section to start attracting the MoPo and NSFGE crowd?
