Description: A mediocre platformer with a "movies" theme (The name is a reference to the movie award). Each level is based on a different genre of movie (sci-fi, horror, etc), and Oscar dresses up to match the level. The graphics are too "busy", making it difficult to tell what you can stand on, and obscuring all the enemies (which reappear the moment you move offscreen). Add to this that the control isn't so good, and you move too fast. Much easier to find included on a single disc with Diggers. This separate release is much harder to find than the Diggers/Oscar disc that was used as a system pack-in. Screen cutoff in NTSC means you lose part of your status bar, but you can play without it.
