Adorned with three words, Life. Camera. Action, the artwork features the golden statuette next to images from Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Giant, The Sound of Music, The Godfather, Driving Miss Daisy, Forrest Gump and Gladiator, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Seven of those won Best Picture, while one movie, Giant, earned George Stevens, a Best Director nod.

The newly-released poster’s design "is meant to evoke the emotional connections we all have with the movies,” said Academy president Tom Sherak.
