Expect mini Abraham Lincoln to bring in 'da (Illi)noise and 'da funk at Sunday's Academy Awards. The tiny statesman tossed his stovepipe hat aside to pump iron and hit the spa in preparation for his big night.
The Illinois Tourism Board has tossed its support behind the homestate hero with a YouTube video titled "Big Night for Mini Abe."
The state's Oscar push also includes live coverage of the event by mini Abe on the @EnjoyIllinois Twitter account. Follow the #MiniAbe hashtag for all the action -- though, after seeing Abe's penchant for long stories in Lincoln, he might have a difficult time keeping it to 140 characters.
BONUS: Oscar Like You've Never Seen Him
