W Magazine's Movie Issue, which will hit stands this February 2015, features 39 actors and actresses who have been deemed this year's top Oscar contenders.
The famous faces include Emma Stone, Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep, Reese Witherspoon, Bradley Cooper and Benedict Cumberbatch, among others. Tim Walker photographed these outstanding talents in an aesthetic inspired by the work of David Hockney, Federico Fellini and the town of Los Angeles (especially 1970s Los Angeles). The end result is a collection of photographs that are bizarre, colorful and absolutely captivating.
We're used to seeing Hollywood's actors transform themselves into new roles, but this photoshoot goes above and beyond. Whether it's a cinematic tribute (Amy Adams in A Clockwork Orange-inspired shoot) or completely unique, every photograph is brilliant.
