Why don't the Oscars do cool things like this?

To celebrate the 5 nominees for the 2009 British Academy of Film and Television Arts “Best Film” award, artist Tavis Coburn was commissioned to do a series of posters.

The results? An amazing series of retro styled prints which are jaw-droppingly great.

I’ve posted the image for Up in the Air above, but the full gallery (below) also includes An Education, The Hurt Locker, Precious, and, of course…Avatar.
