OSCARS: Best Picture Tribute (POSTER)

OscarIn anticipation of this month's Oscars (Feb. 24), the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences has unveiled a crafty new poster celebrating the show's history of best picture winners.

Designed by English artist Olly Moss, the special edition piece features 85 Oscar statuettes, each one distinctly inspired by winners from 1927 to 2012, including "The Silence of the Lambs" (left).

See the full poster here.

The reason you don't see new material out of Hollywood is because Hollywood is in the US. As such, in order to fund a movie here you have to sell it to investors and the market. These people don't care about new ideas or concepts. In fact it's the opposite. All they want is to invest in stuff that has proven successful. So you can only sell movies similar to A or B which have done well in the market.

Of course in almost every other industrial modern nation there is "soft money" which means government programs or foundations that will support innovative filmmakers. So if you want to see new films, go out and get some of those.

The Christmas Screenplay Writer

Come on Hollywood! As a moviegoer, I want to see some fresh new material on the "Silver" screen. It seems as if the studios have run out of new ideas to bring to the theatres these days. To be truthful with you, there are only a handful of movies out there that merit the price of admission. It seems as if there is no shortage of remakes, and sequels. It's the same thing over and over and over again! And most of the new ones....well some of them are downright ridiculous! The problems is that many talented, undiscovered screenwriters, such as myself, have excellent, potential oscar winning screenplays sitting around collecting dust. Hollywood has frozen us out. They refuse to accept submissions by screenwriters who are unsolicited. Granted, agents are supposed to be professionals within the entertainment industry. They are supposed to know if a work is good, or if it is not. Well, if an agent is right, then the studios save money. What if the agent is wrong? Simple answer, the studios miss out on possibly, the next "Harry Potter". If i'm not mistaken, it took 78 times before it was accepted by a publisher. How many billions did the entire series earn? To those studios that are willing to look at our work, there is the dreaded clause in the release form that reads "be aware that we may have a similar project in the works, or have received a work similar to yours". Please, GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Now to cut to the chase, I have written a screenplay that is suitable for all ages. There is no course language, no sexual content, and very little violence. Our prologue reads: "What happens to a man who moves from the light to the darkness, and from good to evil? He loses his heart and soul." Please view my logline on Philadelphia Fest. Type Ebenezer:The Untold Story into the search box. It is a brilliant never done before work. We have secured a copyright on our play, and have completed scripts available for distribution. And we have a fantastic poster ready to go to the oscars. Come on Hollywood, take a risk and give new talent a chance! I want to go back to the movies again!!!
