keyart.jpg Online voting is now available for the 33rd annual Key Art Awards. According to their site, the Key Art Awards are:

...the only international competition honoring the professionals who create movie advertising, including theatrical trailers, posters, TV commercials, Internet ads and more. It's the work of these individuals that often determines a film's box office success and chances for Oscar consideration. The Key Art Awards ceremony has become a cornerstone event in the movie marketing community, annually attracting a "who's who"of motion picture executives and creative professionals from every corner of the industry.

The term "key art" is industry jargon for the main pieces of collateral supporting a movie's release -- posters, stills, etc.

I've heard of the awards before, but I never knew about the online voting. This looks like the second year that they're doing it.

Here's a summary of who I voted for:

Best Poster, Comedy: 'Lost in Translation'
Best Poster, Drama: 'American Splendor'
Best Poster, Action/Adventure: 'Pirates of the Caribbean'

Best Trailer, Comedy: 'Lost in Translation'
Best Trailer, Drama: 'Mystic River'
Best Trailer, Action/Adventure: 'Kill Bill Volume I'

I thought the 'Lost in Translation' campaign was brilliant, but perhaps it just struck a chord with my demo...
