5. And here, from the front, we can see the full extent of Landry’s emotions: joy, rage, excitement, empathy, love, hate. The full spectrum of human life is contained in Carl Landry’s peerleading.

6. I’ll let the Academy take it from here.

7. (Sidenote: the bench also gives a nomination-worthy effort.)
