Oscar Party Weekend - 2019 Oscars Poster

My brother has been throwing an Oscar Viewing Party for longer than I can remember (at least since the early 90s when he moved to Chicago), either at his home, or at his restaurant. Since 2005 I have been gifting him with a large Oscar poster of that year’s nominees.

Me and my little brother Tom first watched the entire Oscar broadcast back in 1973 (I was 11 and he was 9). We had just seen ‘The Poseidon Adventure’ and were excited to see one of the actresses nominated, and several special effects awards and somehow managed to win “Best Song” that year for “There’s Got to Be a Morning After”. Every year afterwards, we would watch the awards together, and even when we moved away from home, we would still call long distance to compare notes during or after the show.

I had skipped both the oscar parties and drawing posters for them for two years since the last one I did. I was either too busy, or just unenthused about the nominees (or both). I do plan on eventually getting back and filling the holes for the past two years (not to mention a long term ridiculous goal of filling in the blanks for the years 1976-2003, and who knows, maybe even 1929-1972 should I live long enough). This is the poster for 2019 (honoring films from 2018), including BlacKkKlansman, Black Panther, Roma, Vice, The Favourite, Bohemian Rhapsody, A Star is Born and The Green Book.

Oscar Party Weekend - 2016 Oscars Poster

My brother has been throwing an Oscar Viewing Party for longer than I can remember (at least since the early 90s when he moved to Chicago), either at his home, or at his restaurant. Since 2005 I have been gifting him with a large Oscar poster of that year’s nominees.

Every year afterwards, we would watch the awards together, and even when we moved away from home, we would still call long distance to compare notes during or after the show.

After several years of missing the oscar party at my brother’s restaurant, we returned again, this time with a double sized poster in tow. I had wanted a strong horizontal because I wanted to include the “War Rig” from Mad Mad Fury Road (a movie I was crazy enthused about that particular year). This was probably my favorite out of all the posters that I’ve done, mostly because it had more of a theme than the previous ones (everyone dressed up in ‘Mad Max’ garb regardless of the film). This is the poster for 2016 (honoring films from 2015), including Mad Max Fury Road, Creed, The Hateful Eight, Carol, The Martian, The Revenant, Spotlight and The Big Short.

Oscar Party Weekend - 2015 Oscars Poster

My brother has been throwing an Oscar Viewing Party for longer than I can remember (at least since the early 90s when he moved to Chicago), either at his home, or at his restaurant. Since 2005 I have been gifting him with a large Oscar poster of that year’s nominees.

Every year afterwards, we would watch the awards together, and even when we moved away from home, we would still call long distance to compare notes during or after the show.

I believe I stayed home again from my brother’s party in Chicago, but drew this poster regardless. Tried a new ‘arrangement’ technique, putting the nominations in rows (from the top, actors, then actresses then supporting actors then supporting actresses, and then films with no actor nominees but still getting best picture nod, went in the center). I didn’t care for this much, and probably won't go back to it again. This is the poster for 2015 (honoring films from 2014), including The Grand Budapest Hotel, Selma, The Imitation Game, The Theory of Everything, Birdman, American Sniper, Wild, Boyhood and Gone Girl.

I may have stayed home from this party, and did a poster regardless. This is the poster for 2014 (honoring films from 2013), including The Wolf of Wall Street, Blue Jasmine, Captain Phillips, American Hustle, Nebraska, Gravity, 12 Years a Slave and The Dallas Buyers Club.

Once again I returned to my brother’s party at his restaurant in Chicago. This year I broke with years of tradition and decided to do the poster in color, in a painterly style (mostly due to the movie ‘The Artist’ this year being notably in black and white, and mostly silent). This is the poster for 2012 (honoring films from 2011), including Moneyball, The Help, The Artist, War Horse, Marilyn and Me and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

I don’t remember if I attended the party this year or not. I did however, still complete a poster for this year.

I attended this year’s oscar party, mostly so I could deliver this special 3-D poster (including several pairs of “3-D Glasses” for viewing). This is the poster for 2010 (honoring films from 2009), including Inglorious Basterds, Avatar, The Hurt Locker, An Education, The Blind Side, Up In The Air, Crazy Heart, District 9 and Precious.

At this point, I had done three posters for this series, and a conflict kept me home for the next few years from my brother’s parties. However, I continued to dutifully complete the posters. This is the poster for 2008 (honoring films from 2007), including There Will Be Blood, Juno, Michael Clayton, Sweeny Todd, No Country for Old Men, Atonement, Elizabeth and La Vie En Rose.
