It's been said that the Academy Awards does not respect comedic films. Well, it looks like comedy is about to get even with the Oscars with these best picture parody posters. These posters make up a hilarious set of honest movie titles lampooning the 10 films nominated for best picture this year.
From afar, these look like the original movie posters, but take a closer look at the titles and tag lines. The Avatar poster, for example, has been renamed 'Predictable.' The at times difficult to watch Precious has now been dubbed 'Cringe' with the words "Don't bring a date" at the bottom. This time, the winner is comedy.
