OSCAR WEEK: Up in the Air movie billboard...

Up in the Air movie billboardNext Sunday is the 82nd Annual Academy Awards Ceremony, so to mark the special occasion it's OSCAR WEEK here at Daily Billboard, where we'll be showcasing a different nominated movie each day.

To kick off the proceedings is the billboard for one of my favourite films of 2009, Up in the Air. I think this billboard does a great job of conveying what the film is all about with the film's stars silhouettes standing in an airport terminal. It's very simple and clever and was photographed on Sunset Boulevard on September 24, 2009.

Up in the Air is nominated for six Oscars this year including Best Picture, Writing (Adapted Screenplay), Directing, two nods for Actress in a Supporting Role (one for Anna Kendrick and the other for Vera Farmiga) and finally George Clooney for Actor in a Leading Role.

I do hope this movie wins some Oscars as it seems to have been largely overlooked at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards this year.
