The Oscars are Feb. 28, and this year marks the sixth time Leonardo DiCaprio has been nominated for Actor in a Leading Role.
London-based animation studio The Line decided to have fun with this fact by creating "Leo's Red Carpet Rampage," an 8-bit game designed by artist Max van der Merwe.
Sam Taylor and Bjorn-Erik Aschim came up with the concept of the arcade-style game, which features DiCaprio running down a red carpet chasing an Oscar.
He battles paparazzi and other obstacles to get the industry's highest award.
But Leo isn't just jumping over paparazzi. Lady Gaga makes a walk down the red carpet, too.
Leo faces the other Oscar nominees for Actor in a Leading Role as well.
Walking the red carpet are Eddie Redmayne as Einar Wegener in "The Danish Girl," Bryan Cranston as Dalton Trumbo in "Trumbo," Matt Damon as Mark Watney in "The Martian" and Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs in the movie of the same name.
Along the way, you can get Emmys, Golden Globes, SAG Awards and other industry awards.
There are also mini-games that poke fun at memorable Leo moments, like the famous car-and-quaaludes scene in "The Wolf of Wall Street."
One mini-game pokes fun at the lack of Oscars diversity. Players have to "find the black nominee."
Watch a trailer of the game below, and play it for yourself here.
