The 88th Academy Awards will take place next week Sunday, on February the 28th. This year’s ceremony has been surrounded by controversy for weeks now regarding the lack of diversity among nominees. Despite it all, I don’t think anybody can question Leonardo DiCaprio’s acting ability. The poor guy deserves to have an Oscar dammit! If only there was some way to help him grab one…
Well there is, thanks to a neat flash game called Leo’s Red Carpet Rampage. In it, you can help the brilliant actor acquire that highly coveted golden statue.
It’s a simple, stupidly addictive distraction – making it perfect for Work Avoidance Wednesday. Yeah you missed these posts, didn’t you? Forget about income for just a second, and follow me down this rabbit hole…
Alternating between G and H gets Leo running down the red carpet after the Oscar. Be careful though, there are many obstacles on the path to grabbing it, including pesky reporters, cameraman, photographers, and even Lady Gaga and the odd iceberg (MY HEART WILL GO ON!).
Remember to press space to leap over them, lest they delay your pursuit, and make you lose a life. Oh, and don’t forget to jump to grab those other awards. They’re not quite as fancy and well respected as an Oscar, but they’ll help that score grow rather nicely.
Phew, this is one long red carpet! Good thing there’s breathing room along the way thanks to a variety of mini-games. Help Leo climb into his car (just like in The Wolf on Wall Street), write an acceptance speech, act harder, or find the black nominee…
Oh snap! Anyhow, once the game is over, we can see just how many awards were grabbed on the run…
Wow Leo, not a single Oscar. Sorry friend, maybe you should act better next time. OOOOOH BURN!
So what’s your high score in Leo’s Red Carpet Rampage? Feel free to leave us some screenshots below!

Thing is he has some tough competition this year, so all I can say after that game is … Leo! Rage, rage against the flashing of the lights. (With apologies to Dylan Thomas)
