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. It’s similar to the incredible set of Golden Statues created by Olly Moss for the 85th Academy Awards but with its own distinct look & feel. In celebration of the upcoming 2026 Oscar ceremony, Gibbs has unveiled his set of 10 statues for the 10 nominees from 2025. What is winning? It’s gotta be either Sinners or One Battle After Another – or maybe something else? These are as perfectly imagined as always every year. Check out the full set below.
And here’s my four top picks from all of the Best Picture nominees – to see more details & elements in them:
All images direct from Olly Gibbs’ Twitter: “Presenting the Oscars illustration of the 98th Academy Awards Best Picture Nominees for 2026!” 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 happy to see these series every year! The 10 Best Picture noms for the 98th Academy Awards are: Bugonia (directed by Yorgos Lanthimos), F1 (directed by Joseph Kosinski), Frankenstein (directed by Guillermo del Toro), Hamnet. (directed by Chloe Zhao), Marty Supreme (directed by Josh Safdie), One Battle After Another (directed by Paul Thomas Anderson), The Secret Agent (directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho), Sentimental Value (directed by Joachim Trier 🇳🇴), Sinners (directed by Ryan Coogler), Train Dreams (directed by Clint Bentley). Which of these Oscar noms are your faves of 2025?
