 Give Marilyn, Elvis, and James Dean the Oscars they Deserve!!!

Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and James Dean stand as towering figures in the pantheon of Hollywood legends. Their unparalleled contributions to cinema and culture have shaped the entertainment landscape, yet remarkably, none have been honored with an Oscar.

This petition aims to change that, advocating for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to recognize these icons with posthumous Oscars, either as Lifetime Achievement Awards or through a new category dedicated to honoring lasting legacies in film. By awarding posthumous Oscars to the three, the Academy can both rectify this oversight and honor their enduring influence on culture and art.

Marilyn Monroe's blend of charisma and vulnerability starring in 29 films, Elvis Presley's groundbreaking merger of music and film with 31 film appearances, and James Dean's embodiment of youthful rebellion with 3 major roles have left a lasting imprint on the world of cinema. Their influence extends far beyond their filmography, continuing to inspire artists and audiences alike.

Beyond their cinematic achievements, these stars have served as muses for some of the most renowned artists in modern history such as Andy Warhol, Dennis Hopper, Hajime Sorayama, Peter Blake, and Robert Indiana.

Join us in this campaign to see Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, and James Dean receive the honorary Oscar recognition they deserve. Sign and share this petition to champion the enduring legacies of these Hollywood legends.
