=====Best Movie Poster Nominees
最佳电影海报提名=========================================================
★The Descendants 后裔
提名词:
For a film dealing with a man trying to reconnect with his somewhat estranged daughters, this poster does a great job of putting us in the mind of Clooney's character as he looks at his girls, seemingly so far away from him, with what's likely a sense of regret and hope. A simple but lovely design.
★获奖词:
Many of the best posters tell us a story with their design. Some are quite complicated while others can be deceptively simple . Here we have a very simple image of a man at the beach. From the title we can tell that the two girls by the water must be his daughters. But their distance from him and the fact that they are slightly out of focus makes it seem as if he is losing them. The serious expression on his face adds to the feeling that things aren't right with his family. The basic plot and tone of the film captured perfectly with a single image. And a beautiful image at that. Our pick for Best Movie Poster of 2011.
The Devil's Double 双重恶魔
提名词:
The characters in this movie are all about excess. And this poster reeks of it. The guns, the clothes, the regal chair, even the rather obvious bulge in the man's pants. Oh, and if that's not enough, EVERYTHING is coated in gold. A very eye-catching design that drives home the concept of the film.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo 龙纹身的女孩
提名词:
If you want to get someone's attention, this is the way to do it. Any fears that the remake of the Swedish film would be dramatically toned down for American audiences should've been put to rest with this poster. Although it likely wouldn't have made the walls of many theaters, people were still talking about this image months later.
The Ides of March 总统杀局
提名词:
How do you capture two big name actors when you only have room for one face? This design does a great job of merging George Clooney and Ryan Gosling together using a copy of Time Magazine. Each actor is clearly recognizable while at the same time they've created a rather creepy hybrid of the two of them.
The Tree of Life 生命之树
提名词:
A beautiful poster that manages to, with a single image, capture a big part of the magic and wonder of life, a major theme of the film.
====TV Nominees
电视剧类海报提名==========================================================
请跳至此专题相册
最佳电视剧海报
=====Best Teaser Nominees
最佳预告海报=============================================================
Drive 绝命驾驶
提名词:
A great introduction to Ryan Gosling's character, looking larger than life thanks to the camera angle. Very reminiscent of Steve McQueen which, given the film's basic plot, is perfectly appropriate.
Final Destination 5 死神来了5
提名词:
Death comes for the fifth time. A simple, memorable image to capture the idea. With so few series making it to a part five, the film's title was not even necessary (aside from the small URL at the bottom).
★The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo 龙纹身的女孩
提名词:
Being most people's first introduction to the film, this poster gives them a great idea of the dark tone of the storyline and their first glimpse of the unorthodox title character.
★获奖词:A good teaser's job is to get people talking about a movie. An image like this, even if it didn't make it to many theater walls, definitely grabbed people's attention. This dark and sexual image sets the perfect tone for the film.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 哈利波特与死亡神器(下)
提名词:
The stage is set for the final showdown between Harry and Voldemort. That's all anyone really needs to know about the final film of the Potter series.
The Rum Diary 朗姆酒日记
提名词:
Great use of tiny rum bottles to spell out the film's title while the tagline spells out the rest.
=====Funniest Poster Nominees
最有趣海报提名===========================================================
Gnomeo and Juliet
提名词:
Sure, butt crack jokes are not quite at the height of intellectual humor and if it were anything but a garden gnome showing a bit too much cheek it likely would be more disgusting than funny. But there is something rather hilarious about this image, especially with the addition of the laughing red gnomes in the background.
How to Live Forever 如何保持永生
★提名词:
A great example of how the film's title, tagline, and image come together to make something quite hilarious. Buster, with a pint of beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other shows that there are no absolute tricks to longevity. The expression on his face is perfect.
★获奖词:
Although it may not be laugh out loud funny, the humor in this poster is undeniable. 101-year-old Buster has obviously not followed the "proper" rules for living a long life but that hasn't stopped him from outlasting most people who dedicate their lives to longevity. Add in the asterisked disclaimer to the title and you get a wonderfully ironic and funny poster.
Madea's Big Happy Family 疯狂大家庭
提名词:
There were a number of spoof posters for this film but there is something so utterly wrong about this image that makes it hard not to laugh at.
Rango 兰戈
提名词:
The humor here just comes from the creature itself. Those eyes, the glum expression on his face, and the shirt - especially the shirt.
A very Harold and Kumar Christmas 猪头逛大街3
提名词:
Hard not to laugh seeing tough guy Danny Trejo wearing one of the tackiest Christmas sweaters imaginable. And his family all look so... festive.
=====Creepiest Nominees
最诡异海报提名==========================================================
The Human Centipede 2 人体蜈蚣2
★提名词:
For anyone who has even heard of the original film, just the thought of a sequel is frightening enough. From a distance we see what looks like a human spine. But on closer inspection we can see that someone has taken the mad doctor's fantasy from the first film to even greater lengths. (We count 41 bodies in total.) That they are all naked and many of them appear to be bound just makes things worse.
★获奖词:
Although it may not be laugh out loud funny, the humor in this poster is undeniable. 101-year-old Buster has obviously not followed the "proper" rules for living a long life but that hasn't stopped him from outlasting most people who dedicate their lives to longevity. Add in the asterisked disclaimer to the title and you get a wonderfully ironic and funny poster.
Insidious 潜伏
提名词:
The fact that some people thought the character looked like Justin Bieber might be reason enough for some to find this poster creepy but there is also something quite unsettling about the boy's eyes and his way-too-serious expression. Add in some ominous lighting and a great tagline and you get something your kids can hang on the wall to keep them awake at night.
Madison County
提名词:
Artist Tom Hodge has made a number of recent posters in the style of 70s exploitation films. They have all been rather creepy but this one is the creepiest in our opinion, with numerous women in peril, blood-soaked knives, and one scary psycho wearing a pig's head. The only hope the tagline offers for these poor women is for them to imagine it all away.
Shark Night 3D 鲨鱼惊魂夜
提名词:
If you don't find this poster scary then you have likely never been afraid to go into the water. That monstrous mouth is one of the last things you want to see while swimming and likely the last thing this poor girl ever sees.
Scream 4 惊声尖叫4
提名词:
By now, pretty well everyone is familiar with the mask from the Scream franchise. After all the sequels and spoofs it has likely lost a lot of its creepy edge, seeming more humorous than scary. But this poster manages to make it scary once again.
=====Best Funny Tagline Nominees
最有意思的海报标语提名====================================================
★Bad Teacher 坏老师
"She doesn't give an F."
★获奖词:
A clever and humorous way of using a single sentence to tell us that the movie is going to be a raunchy comedy about an incompetent female teacher.
Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star 大屌拉森:天生明星
"There are no small actors. Just small parts."
Kung Fu Panda 2 功夫熊猫2
"Prepare for the year of awesomeness."
Puss in Boots 穿靴子的猫
"Looking good never looked so good."
The Sitter 保姆奇遇记
"Worst. Babysitter. Ever."
=====Best Blockbuster Nominees
最惊艳海报提名==========================================================
The Hangover Part II 宿醉2
★获奖词:
The purpose of the advertising for a typical sequel is to tell you to expect more of the same, and then some. The basic concept of the original film was "What the hell happened last night?" and this poster does a very good job of letting us know that there's a lot more where that came from. Alan's got his head shaved, Stu is sporting a Mike Tyson tattoo, and Phil... well, Phil looks dead. Add in a slightly deranged-looking monkey and you've got yourself a poster that literally says "They're back!".
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 碟中谍4:幽灵协议
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides 加勒比海盗4:惊涛怪浪
Transformers: Dark of the Moon 变形金刚3
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 暮光之城4:破晓(上)
=====Bravest Nominees
最勇于尝试海报提名======================================================
The Conspirator 共犯
提名词:
Though instantly recognizable, Abraham Lincoln is not quite what you could call a major box office draw at the movies these last few decades. However, he gets the star treatment while James McAvoy, Robin Wright, and Kevin Kline are nowhere to be seen.
The Descendants 后裔
提名词:
George Clooney is pretty much the opposite of Tom Cruise when it comes to movie posters. The poster for this film is no exception. Although his face is indeed on this poster, it's mostly obscured as he has his head turned. Certainly not trying to cash in on his star power.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close 特别响,非常近
提名词:
Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock may get star billing but it's an unknown actor in his motion picture debut whose face fills up the poster.
Hugo 雨果
提名词:
Once again, we have some rather big name actors like Ben Kingsley, Jude Law, Christopher Lee, Chloë Grace Moretz, Ray Winstone, and Sacha Baron Cohen MIA while a young actor (and admittedly the title character) gets all the recognition.
The Tree of Life 生命之树
提名词:
You have to squint your eyes to see the two stars on this one sheet. Even full-sized we only catch tiny glimpses of Brad Pitt and Sean Penn amidst all of the scenes from the movie.
★获奖词:
Although the stars are indeed visible on the poster, you have to squint pretty to see them. Even when they are visible they are often obscured or pretty much unrecognizable. This poster focuses on the numerous ideas of the film, not the big name actors, and we consider it worthy of the bravest poster of the year.
=====Serious Tagline Nominees
最严肃阴沉海报标语提名===================================================
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo 龙纹身的女孩
"Evil shall with evil be expelled"
In Time 现在
"Live forever or die trying."
Rise of the Planet of the Apes 猩球崛起
"Evolution becomes revolution"
★获奖词:
The apes evolve and lead a revolt. The tagline sums up the basic concept of the film with a nice play on words.
Rum Diary 朗姆酒日记
"One part outrage. One part justice. Three parts rum. Mix well."
Young Adult 青少年
"Everyone gets old. Not everyone grows up."
====== Best Character Poster Set
最佳系列海报提名=======================================================
and the winner is...
★获奖词:
The winner for best movie poster set goes to Winnie the Pooh for their simple but adorable character posters.
======Worst Poster Nominees
最失败电影海报提名======================================================
Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son 卧底肥妈3
提名词:
Seriously, would anyone actually be interested in watching the film based on this revolting French poster? Then again, they went a similar route last time around with an equally revolting French poster for Big Momma's House 2.
Go For It 追逐梦想
提名词:
Where to start? The plasticized belly, the completely inappropriate expression on the girl's face, or the fact that her face seems to have been pasted into the shadows of the hoodie? Now if only they had used the tagline from the previous poster for the film: "She wasn't the best... it didn't matter." Then we would've had a true classic.
The Greening of Whitney Brown
提名词:
Admittedly, there actually is a scene in the movie where the horse rides in the back of a sports car. It looks phony and unrealistic there but that's nothing compared to the poster. How long must the back of the car be to fit the horse in? And why does nothing seem to have the right proportions here? Also, they've made the actors look so young in this poster one wonders if the actress playing the girl might actually be in her 30s. Aidan Quinn looks more like Chris O'Donnell here! Oh, and if you're wondering, the license plate refers to the name of the horse... of course.
Stay Cool 保持冷静
提名词:
Once again, a poster that seems to be telling everyone to run screaming in the opposite direction. This would've been bad even for a cheap 80s VHS cover. Everyone's been pasted together, seemingly at random, with the stupidest expressions possible on all the guy's faces. Then they use some filter to give it a "hand drawn" feel to hopefully cover up the bad cut and paste job they did.
X-Men: First Class X战警:第一战
提名词:
We could've chosen either of the silhouette posters for this film for the nomination. This one gets the nod thanks to the unfortunate feeling that James McAvoy's disembodied head is floating in Patrick Stewart's lap. McAvoy's raised eyebrow makes him seem to be saying "Aha! You never expected to find me here, did you?" There are so many interesting things that could've been done with this basic idea. This design (and we use the word loosely) is not one of them.
★获奖词:
Continuing a familiar franchise with an unfamiliar cast always poses serious marketing problems. You want to go with what people already know but there is a limit to how much you can borrow from the past. A particular logo (like the teaser for this film) or a prop can be a good way of bridging the gap. Showing the silhouette of Patrick Stewart from the original films is a great idea, at least in theory. And it did work, to a certain degree, in the other designs featuring the reflections in the water.
But here it seems as if they weren't even trying. They took an idea that had all sorts of potential and then apparently threw it together in about 30 seconds. What we are left with is something that is equal parts laughable and creepy. One can almost imagine an animated gif version of this with James McAvoy's disembodied head bouncing around inside the silhouette screaming "let me out" in a high pitched helium voice. When you debut a new set of posters you do not want the first reaction from most people viewing them to be questioning whether they are fakes or not. This would've been bad enough for a low budget film but for a big budget franchise, it really is inexcusable.
可以明显感觉得到今年电影作品海报的质量明显不如去年,出类拔萃的非常少,且各奖项间重复交叉的海报很多,出现这种状况难免让人很失望……
但今年也不乏《生命之树》《雨果》《后裔》这样不错的作品,以及再创巅峰的《人体蜈蚣》系列,再度夺魁应该没什么悬念吧……
