Alternate Posters for the 2017 Oscar Winners

Now that the dust has settled from one of the biggest blunders in Oscars history, I thought I'd take a moment to celebrate the chosen few from Hollywood's biggest night by spotlighting a handful of brilliant alternate posters done for the winning films. So, whether you love or hate the results of the 89th Academy Awards, I think we can all agree that we'd love to have some of these hanging on our walls. Have a favorite? Excited or frustrated with the winners? Feel free to leave some feedback in the comments below.
