Get Leonardo DiCaprio that Oscar in this addictive, insane game
Leonardo DiCaprio’s deprivation of Oscar gold has become something of a punchline in Hollywood.
Behold, Leo’s Red Carpet Rampage, an 8-bit video game that takes you on Leo’s journey to Oscar glory.
Leo faces the other Oscar nominees for Actor in a Leading Role as well.
Free browser game Leo’s Red Carpet Rampage is a great way to celebrate what will probably be the final year of a successful person being taunted by bloggers about his inability to secure a gold-plated piece of plastic. While that sounds a whole lot easier then eating raw bison, of course there are obstacles along the way.
There are even mini-games. The arcade-style scrolling game asks you to leap over icebergs, paparazzi, and Lady Gaga on your way to the stage, spot the black nominee in a sea of white people, and out-sprint Michael Fassbender’s Steve Jobs. These bonus rounds feature having to make Leo crawl to his auto from the infamous quaaludes scene from Wolf of Wall Street. There’s also a section of the game poking fun at the #Oscarssowhite issue but we’ll let you discover that one for yourselves.
DiCaprio is widely considered the frontrunner for Best Actor at February 28’s Academy Awards for his role in “The Revenant”, but the golden award has escaped him too many times before – he’s been nominated four times and has always gone home empty handed.
