Every year the magazive Vanity Fair just before the Oscars makes an issue that it is about who is hot at the moment at the movies industry. For example in this year's cover we see Oscar's hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco or newcomer star of the Social Network Jesse Eisenberg , Mila Kunis of the Black Swan and many others....
Actually one of my all time favorite covers was the one of 2001, with some of the Hollywood legends like Meryl Streep, Vanessa Redgrave,Catherine Deneuve, Kate Winslet,Cate Blanchett, Sophia Loren ,and also Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz,Gwyneth Paltrow, and Chloë Sevigny photographed by the also legendary Annie Leibovitz
In 2003 another great Vanity Fair cover came out, with all the Hollywood "Alpha Males" (at the moment)....
as you can see Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Jude Law, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Hugh Grant, Matt Damon,Dennis Quaid, Ewan McGregor, and Tom Cruise are depicted again in a cover taken by Annie Leibovitz
This Vanity Fair "tradition" began back in 1995 with this cover named "Hollywood - Highest- The class of 2000"
Some of the "newbies" ladies like Sarah Jessica Parker before Sex & the City, or Nicole Kidman before the surgeries are super hot stars today.... I think that some of them are really art statements.....
in the same philosophy are the covers of 1996,
of 1997
and another favorite of mine the one of 1998, with the 2011 Oscar best actress nominee Natalie Portman, and the unbelievably young and totally different Vince Vaughn (he is the one sitting on the armchair between Joaquin Phoenix and Djimon Hounsou)
take a look also at these:
and last but not least, and once again one of my all time favorite covers of all magazines the 2006 Tom Ford cover
So now, you understand the reason of why I am so excited to see every year the Vanity Fair Hollywood issue.....Don't you????
