HBO winter 2018 For your consideration billboards...

To steal a line from Games of Thrones, 'winter is here', and along with it the campaigning in the city skyline for awards consideration for movies, documentaries and television shows.

Even though streaming services like Netflix, Amazon and Hulu have taken up the challenge to champion their original offerings in recent years, premium cable network HBO is an old hand at its cohesive outdoor 'For your consideration' campaigns.

This year the limited series adaptation of Gillian Flynn's debut novel, Sharp Objects, is getting some super-sized support for the psychological thriller and its stars, Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen.

HBO was also putting some major outdoor support behind its freshman dysfunctional family business empire drama, Succession.

Will Brian Cox as 'Logan Roy', patriarch of the global media empire, receive recognition for his portrayal or will one of his on-screen children, Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook, Alan Ruk, fight him for a nomination or two.

The cable channel's time-hopping TV adaptation of Michael Crichton's Westworld was exploring new secrets and amusement parks for the uber-wealthy in its sophomore season and taking home four Emmys, including one for Thandie Newton for her role as the Wild West's brothel madam 'Maeve Millay'.

Will she and the rest of the epic show's sprawling cast be recognised again this winter awards season?

Fans of the sci-fi series can also check out these Emmy-nominated Shogun World costumes from Westworld's second season on display.

Michael B. Jordan has had a standout year with impressive performances in Black Panther and Creed II, so will he and Michael Shannon receive a nod for their roles in the HBO telefilm adaptation of Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

Al Pacino is also in the spotlight in the city skyline for his role as 'Joe Paterno' in HBO telemovie about the Penn State sexual abuse scandal.

And for anyone wondering, Game of Thrones campaigned for its seventh season last awards season, so will be back in the skies next year for its final season. In the meantime maybe Golden Globe-winner Peter Dinklage could receive a nomination for his portrayal of Fantasy Island's Hervé Villechaize in the biopic My Dinner with Hervé.

Jamie Dornan also stars as a struggling journalist sent to interview the actor and the original film explores the friendship they strike up on wild night out in L.A.

The movie air date billboard was snapped along L.A.'s 3rd Street on September 30, whilst the FYC version was spied high above Hollywood Boulevard on December 1, 2018.

Meanwhile after her win at last year's Golden Globes for Supporting Actress in Big Little Lies, can Laura Dern repeat her success for her role in Jennifer Fox's childhood sexual abuse drama, The Tale.

On a lighter note, in the world of comedy HBO has many television shows to offer up for consideration this awards season.

The tech satire Silicon Valley was back for a hilarious fifth season and hoping to be recognised for its insightful laughs.

Plus Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church were back in the skies for the sophomore season of the dark relationship comedy, Divorce.

HBO's hitman-turned-actor comedy, Barry, was ready for his close-up this month in L.A.'s skyline for his debut season.

Bill Hader was obviously hoping to repeat his Emmy-winning success for himself and the series this winter awards season.

Meanwhile Issa Rae was hoping to make it three Golden Globe nominations in a row for her standout role in her HBO comedy, Insecure.

Or maybe her co-star Yvonne Orji would be lucky this year for the third season of the comedy about the two black women, their relationships, careers and lives in L.A.

And finally for this assortment, Dwayne Johnson was hoping to tackle some nominations for the fourth season of American Football dramedy, Ballers.

These winter HBO FYC billboards were photographed around the streets of L.A. from November 10 to December 2, 2018, including along Sunset Boulevard, Fairfax Avenue, 3rd Street, Sepulveda Boulevard, Bronson Avenue, Robertson Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard.

If you like this collection of outdoor ads, make sure you also compare this review-laden cohesive campaign to previous HBO For your consideration billboards.

UPDATED: Here's also a sophomore season consideration billboard for HBO's 1970s sex industry drama set in Manhattan, The Deuce. This FYC billboard was snapped titillating passersby along La Cienega Boulevard on December 4, 2018.
