2006 Key Art Awards - Movie Posters Category!

Posterwire has an entry on the 2006 Key Art Awards here. The Key Art Awards recognize excellence in movie marketing.

If you read this weblog you can tell I have a soft spot for movie posters. I've always enjoyed how one graphic attempts to represent a motion picture. Some of the posters are fantastic. Unsurprisingly, Sin City has a lot of nominations, but that's probably more due to the graphic novel roots of the project rather than anything the graphic artists did. More interesting are the posters for projects that are stand-alone films and not derived from other properties.

This Saw II teaser poster was banned. Apparently two severed fingers is too much for a society that shows routine killings on the boob tube.

Anyway, I still like this one:
