Hello everyone!

While working on my most recent set of Academy covers, I realized how many movies get nominated each year that are just as amazing (sometimes better) than the movie that actually won. I really wanted to acknowledge the nominees as well. However, I realized that doing a set of covers for all of the nominees would be an insurmountable task. So, I decided to do only the covers that I personally own or would really like to own. I also decided to only do ones for movies that were nominated for Best Picture.

This new set also opens the door for cover requests if anyone owns a Best Picture nominee that I do not have a cover for. For example, in 2007 I really liked the movie Juno, so I will definitely be designing a cover for that one. However, I don't own There Will be Blood, so that one wouldn't get a cover... unless someone else wants it!

I know I wanted to keep my design the same, since many of the elements of these covers will be the same as the winner covers. So, I decided that the Gold Winners covers would be nicely complimented by Silver Nominees covers. The only minor alteration I made was to customize the ribbon that wraps the statue on the front. Each cover's front poster will have a color theme. That theme will be carried in a two-tone gradient on the ribbon.

So, here they are... well the first five that is. I did one for each year for now, back to 2009:

Gravity - 2013 Best Picture Nominee


Zero Dark Thirty - 2012 Best Picture Nominee


Hugo - 2011 Best Picture Nominee


Toy Story 3 - 2010 Best Picture Nominee


Avatar - 2009 Best Picture Nominee


I know typically requests go into the request forum. However (if it's okay with the admins here), I say to post your requests here. That way I get the email, and don't have to constantly check the request forum.

Oh, and I will be doing labels too!

That's all for now!

Later!
