There are no out nominees at the Academy Awards this year. But fortunately, a gay actor has stepped forward to portray 25 Oscar-worthy roles.

In a hilarious spoof, Tommy Dickie (Conan, Criminal Minds) tackles recreating some of the year's most lauded performances, among them Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in La La Land, Annette Bening in 20th Century Women, Isabelle Huppert in Elle, and Natalie Portman in Jackie.

Dubbed the 2016 Dickie Awards, the faux ceremony was created by this self-described "overzealous movie-lover" as a means of highlighting his own favorite films, some of which were overlooked by the Academy and mainstream audiences.

So, while the world waits to see which production will be named Best Picture at the Oscars (please be Moonlight), check out the winners of this parody below.
