More thoughts.. Im just waking and this last week my mind has been
seeing clear ideas for tie-in promotions.
So imagine this.. You sell the academy on a add- on to thier events, and
the myrid of Hollywood Party ala " Swifty Lazar" Ive supplied many of
the people that have those gala partys so lets say a corporate sponser
hoted a exhibit of your postres just as a rental for a backdrop at some
wine and dine event..
It would be cool... Like if Hefner hosted it...His Girls next door
Bridget bought my friend lifesize characters this Halloween , and they
have the Bux.. and Hef could get plenty of media coverage...
and part of the deal would be they make them viewer ready. matter of
fact they would be great art
for the Playboy offices !. OK and remeber they could also be used to
make money for a cause so the proceeds could be split with a
non-profit.. people get to see the art.. IMagine a gala event and people
could have plenty of converstion pieces.. and you could get a keynote
speaker like a Oscar winner to be there along with celbritie Oscar
winners... IT could be FUNm exciteing and PROFITABLE and the collection
would get intense exposure! Its win. win win.. heck perharps
Gov.Arnold would come.
BTW see the Gove in my ad for my clappers on ebay .. I made a special
for him for the Borders govenors conferance and he sent me a Pix with
the clapper and signed it Swartzenegger is One cool
Govenore and great entertainment giant..
well I see all the components here for a very special tribute to the
Oscars® and also a way for You Doug
to get a good anount of enjoyment seeing your passion of collecting
awarded and seen by the people that made the dreams happen.
I see this all happening very clear.. It could be awesome... I want to
attend it and im a hermit.
somebody call Leonard Maltin... geeze even Rudy could do a piece in
antique road show on the collection// and ewhile people are watching
and talking as they stroll around ... a background of all the Oscar
winner theme songs and film scores are playing in the background like
Lara themem from GWTW
you could get planty of Oscar recipients to
attend..............wowowoowoow. I havent even had coffee yet...hahah
pumped up

Well, the time has come to allow one of the world's museums, film
festivals or film historians to benefit from an incredible compilation
of film art. Until now, the only place one could enjoy the posters
from the 79 Best Picture Oscar winners was at the Academy museum in
Beverly Hills.
As many of you know I've spent the last 15 years attempting to compile
original issue US one sheets for every film to be awarded the Oscar
for Best Picture. I've enjoyed collecting, and had phenomenal
success, but feel its time to share this amazing piece of film
history. For the 79 Academy Award winning films, The Best Picture
Collection contains 108 original issue US posters, which represent all
but 3 of the historic AA Best Picture winner one sheets. The Best
Picture Collection contains 103 individual one sheets, 3 window cards
and 2 lobby card sets.
This one-of-a-kind collection includes such rarities as a 1929
Broadway Melody one sheet (to my knowledge, the Academy owns the only
other copy), a 1932 Grand Hotel one sheet (to my knowledge, the
Academy owns the only other copy), a 1930 All Quiet on the Western
Front one sheet (to my knowledge, there are only 3 in existence), a
1934 It Happened One Night, Style B one sheet (to my knowledge there
are only 3 in existence), a 1935 Mutiny on the Bounty, Style D one
sheet (to my knowledge there are only 4 in existence), a 1939 Gone
With the Wind, Style CF one sheet (to my knowledge the Academy owns
the only other copy of this beautiful "plume" style) and not 1 but 2
original styles of the incredibly illusive 1942 Mrs. Miniver one sheet.
The only AA Best Picture one sheets not included in The Best Picture
Collection are original US studio issues for 1928 Wings, 1931 Cimarron
and 1933 Cavalcade. Although those studio issue one sheets are not
included, the films are well represented in the collection. An
original run 1928 Wings "other company style" US one sheet is included
as well as an original run studio issue 1929 Wings US Style A "with
sound" one sheet. A full original 1928 Wings lobby card set and
original Style A and Style B window cards are also included. A
beautiful original issue 1931 Cimarron Swedish one sheet along with a
full original 1931 Cimarron US lobby card set are included, and
perhaps the world's only existing original 1933 Cavalcade US window
card is included.
The Best Picture Collection also includes multiple style one sheets
for many films, including hard-to-find advances, or even "unreleased"
styles such as the unreleased style for 1973's The Sting (to my
knowledge there are only 3 in existence).
The Best Picture Collection truly is the world's most complete private
collection of Academy Award Winning Best Picture one sheets, and it
can be yours.
