What Happened, Miss Simone? documentary film billboards...

Netflix have enjoyed great success in recent years with their documentary offerings, receiving Oscar nominations for The Square and Virunga respectively. No doubt they'd like another nomination for What Happened, Miss Simone?, and maybe this time to take home an Academy Award.

This documentary film by Liz Garbus is about the life of the legendary 'High Priestess of Soul', Ms. Nina Simone, and her daughter, ex-husband, musical director and more provide an insight into the gifted singer and civil rights activist's personal struggles off stage.

The original 'Now streaming' billboard for the documentary was snapped along Ventura Boulevard in Studio City on July 3, whilst the striking 'For your consideration' version was spotted along La Cienega Boulevard on November 6, 2015.

This Nina Simone billboard isn't the only awards campaigning currently taking place in the skies of L.A., Netflix is also supporting its original film Beasts of No Nation and the TV show Mr. Robot also seems to have 'For your consideration' billboards everywhere at the moment.

UPDATED: Now that Beasts of No Nation is out of the running for the Oscars, it looks like Netflix are putting all their efforts behind their Nina Simone documentary feature.

This giant Oscar consideration billboard was photographed along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip on February 1, 2016, which is also the start of Black History Month in the U.S.

Will it be third time lucky for Netflix at this year's 88th annual Academy Awards ceremony on February 28, 2016?

UPDATED: In addition to the super-sized version, here's also a standard landscape billboard which pulls out from Miss Simone's face. This equally arresting Oscar consideration billboard was spotted along Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood on February 10, 2016.

UPDATED: Netflix's Nina Simone documentary may have missed out on an Academy Award, but there's still a chance that it could enjoy some Emmy award success. This small Emmy nomination billboard to help garner votes was spotted along Pico Boulevard on August 22, 2016.
