The 2026 Academy Awards are coming up just around the corner – the glamorous ceremony is being held late on March 15th this year hosted by Conan O’Brien. Leading up this big Hollywood event, all the poster designers have been creating their annual set of poster designs for the 10 Best Picture nominees. However, there is always one design that we anxiously wait for year after year – the Golden Statue illustrations created by UK artist Olly Gibbs. Every year, he creates a unique Oscar statue design for each of the 10 Best Picture nominated movies and adds lots of elements & tiny details from each one into the illustration. Gibbs started this in 2014, and has been creating new designs for the series of BP nominees each winter.
