Dec 20, 2006–The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' poster for the 79th Oscars features 75 of the most memorable and quotable lines from movie history.
The poster, conceived and designed for the Academy by TBWA/Chiat/Day Los Angeles, features a photograph of the statuette by Albert Watson.
“If a picture is worth a thousand words, then each quote is worth at least 500,” said Academy prexy Sid Ganis. The quotes were chosen by members of the Acad's board of governors and other Academy staff members.
All the lines showcased in the poster–except one–are from films that received an Oscar nomination for picture, screenplay or both between 1936 and 2005. The only film with two quotes is 1996's “Jerry Maguire.” Academy reps said the lone exception among the 75 would provide a guessing game for film fans.
The 27×40 poster, printed on premium recycled paper, uses a black canvas and highlights the quotes in gold metallic ink.
More than 65,000 posters have been distributed worldwide, and the poster is available for purchase through March 12 via the Academy's Web site or by calling 800-554-1814.
