Pass It On: The Tragic Story Of Leo DiCaprio’s Endless Quest For An Oscar, In Flipbook Form

It’s become one of the defining pop culture tropes of our time. Everyone knows the story.

Leonardo DiCaprio. 22 years. Four nominations. Zero Oscars.

For more than two decades, Leo’s quest for that little fucking gold statue has simultaneously enthralled and sickened the viewing public. At times it’s been like watching a horrific highway pile-up; so awful, and yet so watchable.

2016 looks to finally be the year when Leo gets his hands on an Oscar; at least, that’s what everyone seems to be hoping. He’s built up so much goodwill over the years that a fifth loss will send the internet into meltdown.

Now, with the moment of truth almost upon us, YouTube creator The Flippist has envisaged what Leo’s crowning achievement might look like. Be warned: the following video is not for the faint of heart.

Oh no. OH NO.

NOT LIKE THIS.

This is…unbearable.
