The 2025 Academy Awards are coming up this weekend – the illustrious ceremony is on March 2nd this year hosted by Conan O’Brien. Leading up this big Hollywood event, many talented 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 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. It’s similar to the incredible set of Golden Statues created by the designer Olly Moss for the 85th Academy Awards (I used to have this poster framed on my wall). In celebration of the upcoming 2025 Oscar ceremony, Olly Gibbs has unveiled his set of 10 statues for the 10 nominees from 2024. What is winning? We’ll know in just a few days. Get a look below.

And here’s my four top picks from all of the Best Picture nominees – to see mroe details & elements in them:

Images direct from Olly Gibbs’ Twitter: “Presenting the Oscars illustration of the 97th Academy Awards Best Picture Nominees for 2025!” He is also selling prints and sets of nominees from the past few years in his online shop. For a recap of his first few years (from 2014 to 2018) you can visit Olly’s official website – or view last year’s creations. “Each film is portrayed by the gold statue in a costume and elements from the film.” If you want to see more nominees from the past, click here (including Lady Bird, The Shape of Water, Arrival). I’m always hoping he continues this design series indefinitely! The 10 Best Picture nominees for the 97th Academy Awards are: Anora (directed by Sean Baker), The Brutalist (directed by Brady Corbet), A Complete Unknown (directed by James Mangold), Conclave (directed by Edward Berger), Dune: Part Two (directed by Denis Villeneuve), Emilia Pérez (directed by Jacques Audiard), I’m Still Here (directed by Walter Salles), Nickel Boys (directed by RaMell Ross), The Substance (directed by Coralie Fargeat), and Wicked (directed by Jon M. Chu). Which of these Oscar noms are your favorites from 2024?
