Last year, Melissa Leo famously took out those ads for herself, showing her to be ONE CLASSY DAME. I loved what she did for two reasons. The first, it exposed all of the hypocrites who pretend that winning Oscars is only about the performance, and two, it was the funniest thing ever. She didn’t need to take out those ads and glory be that she won that Oscar anyway.
Now Pee-Wee Herman is at the same game and has decided to take his cue from Melissa Leo for his Emmy ad:

It begs the question, since Leo won the Oscar anyway, how many others might follow suit, either in a humorous way, or a serious way. Back in the early days of Oscarwatch we used to post fan-made ads — it was always so fun to build those. Source: EW
