What's interesting about this season's movie awards is that Banksy's 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' has been nominated for an Oscar.
In celebration for the film's nomination in the 'best documentary' category, Banksy has painted a new mural in La Brea, Los Angeles. The piece features Oscar dressed like the artist, with a hoodie hiding his face and Storm Troopers as his security. If this is any indication that Banksy will actually arrive at the Oscars with Storm Troopers, I shall anticipate the red carpet on TV eagerly.
