On a related note, posters can actually win awards. In June, the Hollywood Reporter has its annual Key Art Awards<\/a>. Categories include action-adventure, animation, comedy, drama, horror, teaser, and international; the awards also include trailers and other marketing collateral. In January, movie poster weblog Posterwire.com had its annual awards<\/a>, while recapping industry trends and linking to every print you can imagine. This year, they decided on “The Savages,” which was illustrated by Chris Ware.<\/p>\n
