The Walking Dead Gets A Set Of Oscar-Inspired Movie Posters
The Academy Awards are coming up this Sunday night, but they're going to have some stiff [...]
Mad Michonne
Michonne has been known to go on a war-path, and she's been in a revenge plot or two over the years. This makes her a perfect fit for 2015 Oscar-winner, Mad Max: Fury Road.

Hilltop Fences
The Hilltop is known for having some awesome gardens, and the most powerful fences in the entire area. Lucky enough, Denzel Washington directed and starred in Fences, the adaptation of the award-winning play.
This poster has a double-meaning though, as a running joke in the industry has become "Hidden Fences". Someone accidentally used this name in reference to Hidden Figures, and the rest was history.

Protester By The Sea
It's time to get Fear The Walking Dead in on the action, and the show received a poster of its own.
The mother-daughter relationship has become a focus of the series, and that's played out here with a new take on the family drama, Manchester By The Sea.

Tiger
Lion was one of the surprise hits of 2016, and The Walking Dead decided to use the film's poster to highlight one of everyone's new favorite characters.
It worked, since the newly-discovered leader already had a giant feline by his side.
King Ezekiel, welcome to the show.

Negan's Arrival
The sci-fi genre has seen an enormous resurgence over the last couple of years, and the Amy Adams-starring Arrival has become one of the most popular.
Well, for a Walking Dead fan, there was no arrival quite like Negan's.

Eyesight
Moonlight is one of the heavily-favored films heading into this year's awards, as the coming-of-age drama brought audiences to their knees.
In The Walking Dead, no one has had a coming-of-age story quite like Carl Grimes.

Negan's Land
Moonlight may be one of the favorites, but La La Land is poised to potentially sweep the entire show. The musical set an award record at the Golden Globes, and the filmmakers are hoping for the same results this Sunday.
While Rick is working on a plan to fight back, the entire land still belongs to Negan at this point. Just ask Spencer.

Hell Or High Slaughter
Hell Or High Water is an intense crime thriller, that provided audiences with some crazy anxiety in the theater.
Negan brings the thrills on The Walking Dead, and this poster is perfect.
