Stephen Colbert Takes Oscar-Nominated Film Posters Literally (Video)
Stephen Colbert admits he hasn’t seen all of the Oscar-nominated films — “or possibly any of them” — but no big whoop. He’s able to figure out exactly what each movie is about solely based on their posters… or so he thinks.
“And that’s why this is another edition of Late Show Best Picture Poster Recap,” he said Friday night.
Scrolling through one Best Pic nom poster after another — from “La La Land” to “Manchester by the Sea” and everything in between — Colbert took a literal look at the not-so literal works of art and came up with his own summary of each film.

Judging by the “Arrival” poster, “I’m going to say everyone in this movie is really upset because Amy Adams has lost her giant black contact lens,” he joked.
Looking at the poster from “Moonlight,” Colbert said, “I believe it is about a mutant with the power to grow a well-trimmed beard on half of his face when the moon comes out. Marvel’s done it again.”
