What the posters for the Oscar-nominated movies would say if they were honest

OK, so maybe "The Post" could be more original.CollegeHumor

CollegeHumor released its annual roundup of "honest movie posters," which satirize the year's biggest Oscar nominees.

The biggest Oscar nominees are mostly pretty great, shedding light on gems like "Lady Bird" and "Call Me by Your Name." But they do have some problems, and these Photoshopped posters cleverly pick them apart.

Here are College Humor's 10 posters satirizing the the nominees in 2018's best picture category, along with "I, Tonya" for good measure.

"The Shape of Water" is about a romance between a woman and a fish man.

Not everyone thinks that's OK.

"Phantom Thread" has beautiful dresses.

What is "Phantom Thread" — the movie where Daniel Day-Lewis plays a couture dressmaker — even about? It's complicated, but the movie sure has a bunch of beautiful shots of dresses.

"The Post" is kind of generic.

In a year where unconventional movies like "Get Out" and "Lady Bird" are honored, "The Post" does seem like traditional Oscar bait.

"Dunkirk" has a lot of gorgeous shots of beaches, but it's extremely stressful.

It's hard to enjoy the south of France when German bomber planes are flying overhead.

And "Darkest Hour" is kind of boring in comparison.

"Darkest Hour" is about Winston Churchill's political life during the battle at Dunkirk, looking at things from another angle. It's not as interesting.

"Lady Bird" is a bit like "Boyhood."

"Lady Bird" is a masterpiece, so there's little to criticize, but it does share a lot of themes with Richard Linklater's "Boyhood."

"Call Me by Your Name" is a sunny trip through the Italian countryside, but there's a scene involving a peach that has people talking.

"Call Me by Your Name" is a great movie, and you should watch it. But if you want to be spoiled and just learn about the peach scene, read about it here.

"I, Tonya" redeems Margot Robbie from "Suicide Squad."

Nothing washes out the taste of a bad superhero movie than an Oscar-nominated biopic — even if it's a problematic one.
