It was that silver nitrate black-and-white noir thing...right? The Hollywood Reporter's 35th annual Key Art Awards ceremony last Friday night gave Dimension Films' Sin City four trophies -- for best action adventure trailer, best teaser trailer, best home entertainment-consumer audiovisual, and some kind of special recognition for "character banners designed for the film"...whatever that means.

I think it's great that Sin City won. I felt their trailers were pitch-perfect. I loved the use of music and the editing. The banners as well as the posters were stunning. It's hard to keep seeming fresh in this era of photo-art movie posters but Sin City hit a home run. On the same note Tarantino films have also had great photo-art posters. I wish Hollywood would go back to some of the great artistic posters but if you are going to stay mainly with photo-art then the people who design Sin City are on the right track.

am I the only one who felt they missed a fantastic opportunity when they didn't cast clint eastwood as the older hartigan and have bruce play young hartigan?
that classic steely gaze on that poster to the right of your screen instead of bruce's 'I had bad clam chowder and I am about to throw up' look?
