For many the awards season is the time to glue yourself to the television with a bowl of popcorn and hope that your favourite movie gets nominated. Some years you’ll see well known movies, other times they’re niche documentaries with German subtitles.
You may not have seen all the movies that were recently nominated for the Oscars, so these funny, yet “honest” movie posters will sum them up for you. Created by London-based movie website The Shiznit, these movie posters are a humorous take on what they are really about – without having to watch them.
Replacing the actual titles with funny ones that tell the truth about the plots, each movie poster also includes an edited tagline and other details that give hilarious commentary on the movies.
