Does having more Best Picture nominations affect the quality of films made? Maybe not. But then again, the last time 10 pictures were up for the top Oscar (1936-1943), Casablanca and Citizen Kane were among the winners. To celebrate the return of a larger envelop at this year's Academy Awards, The More the Merrier presents international poster art for the 80 films nominated over that eight-year-period, featuring work by artists Norman Rockwell, Al Hirschfeld, as well as an original painting for Gone with the Wind by Sergio Gargiulo.
