Oscar Pop! Pop Art Movie Posters for The 87th Academy Awards Best Picture Oscar Nominees

Movie posters generally fall into being really striking, iconic, or unusual. Or pretty meh and formulaic. You can park these examples firmly in the former category.

Featuring various designers, who are named underneath the poster, Oscar Pop! is an annual tradition by stock photography agency Shutterstock.

Each year they challenge their designers to come up with pop art inspired versions of posters for the best picture nominees. The results are some great interpretations of the films filtered through the iconic styles of some of the 20th century's most famous artists.

Check out some of the great designs below. And head to Shutterstock's blog post to find out more details about each work.
