Totally unrealistic. He'd be crawling into a Tesla.

EXCELLENT POST the exact intersection of my twin loves, awards season speculation and mashing buttons on the keyboard

Ermergerd. This is amazing. I'm assuming it's not really from 1991 -- what's the story behind this?

Damn. I guess Bryan Cranston as Trumbo just wanted it more:(

Cute, but G & H & Space as the keys? Did anyone else find that basically impossible?

I lost.

Good.

It could really have benefited from some BEEP-BOOP-BOOP style play-by-play done by a tiny 8-bit Billy Eichner sprite at the bottom corner of the screen.

Could I wiggle a joystick back and forth instead of hitting G & H?

I was laughing my head off while mashing keys - TOTALLY forgot I was in the office. There should be a warning about what silly fun this can be.

He's gonna win his Oscar in less than two weeks so this is great timing. I loved the controls and grinned all the way, jumping over paparazzi. I didn't make the crawl but I did 'act hard' enough to get that bonus. I got to spot the black nominee and I was like, I have played that matchup game on the Wii many times. I was never as quick as some others, so I got better and better at it until I was getting pretty good at it. I was ready. This was my moment. But I lost at spot the black nominee and was frustrated they didn't highlight the black nominee so I could see where I missed. Then I realized the joke. Great game!

The ACT HARDER mini-game had me tesseracting back to Street Fighter / Mortal Kombat plank-breaking sessions. Amazing.

This gave me really vivid flashbacks to my childhood.

G, H and space as the keys... It's almost like they don't want him to win...

Oh my god the 'find the black nominee' minigame made me lose it.

This is all sorts of fantastic.

Unfortunately for Leo, his Oscar chase looks more like QWOP than a button masher.

Use both index fingers and one thumb.

If you didn't get mauled by a bear and then have to dig yourself out of your own grave in order to exact revenge on the man who killed your son, Leo will not hear your complaints.
