The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that the official 2009 Oscar poster is now available for purchase. The poster features the Oscar statuette spotlighted center stage among the bright lights of the Kodak Theatre, a representation of the point of view that Oscar ceremony host Hugh Jackman, and Academy Award winners, presenters, and performers will experience from the stage of the Kodak come next February 22.
The Oscar 2009 posters — the only 2009 Academy Awards commemorative item available for sale to the public — will be ready to ship in late January with distribution of more than 50,000 copies worldwide.
The 27×40-inch color poster, printed on premium quality, Forest Stewardship Certified paper, will be available only on the Academy’s Web site at www.oscars.org or by calling 1-800-554-1814.
The 2009 Academy Awards ceremony will be held on Sunday, February 22, 2009, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center. In the US, the Oscarcast will be televised live by ABC.
