Design for Oscar Poster is Worth Talking About
The new Oscar poster was unfurled Tuesday, and there are lines everywhere.

Famous lines from 70 years of famous films.

"I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!", "I'm the king of the world!", "I'm ready for my close-up" and "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn" are among the quotes that share space with an image of the Oscar statuette on the 79th Annual Academy Awards poster.

"What we have is a failure to communicate," joked Sid Ganis, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, who said that the idea of movie lines stood out among the dozens of potential Oscar-poster concepts for this year's version.
