If The Posters For This Year’s Oscar-Nominated Movies Were Honest

This year’s Oscar nominations are in, so we continue our tradition of collecting the best “honest movie posters” from various sources. A Star Is Born was an obvious subject of jokes, but also of accolades and broken records. Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper broke an Academy Awards record thanks to “Shallow.” Netflix landed their first Best Picture nomination with Roma. In another first, Black Panther became the first superhero movie to be nominated for Best Picture, to many people’s joy. And the show still doesn’t have a host, although more superheroes will be in attendance, as The Avengers are going to assemble to hand out awards.

Here are our favorite honest posters for the films which garnered at least one nomination in any category this year (full nominees list here). First up, let’s pick the low-dangling fruit (I’m sorry) of that movie with a director who apologized for flashing people and a writer who should probably tweet less.

People also poked fun at First Man, which — contrary to any rumors — had so many American flags:

And Ready Player One got nominated. Hey, remember Ready Player One I ‘member.

Ready Player One poster made by College Humor. (more posters at the link)

I’m never going to drop this petty gripe about A Quiet Place.

We’re giving this poster a hard stare:

The Favourite was really good, you guys.
