Played: Octavia Spencer in "Game Over"

Who knew that the only person capable of out-crazying Oscar winner Tracy Jordan was Oscar winner Octavia Spencer? That's what we learned when Jordan recruited the "Help" star to topline his Harriet Tubman biopic. Spencer's eccentricities -- Her entourage included Mizz and Dot Gov in an homage we don't need to explain to you -- led Tracy to recognize his own quirks and, in turn, led him to try to channel his inner Liz Lemon, with predictably wacky consequences. Next time anybody interviews Octavia Spencer, they should ask her about her beef with Cal Ripken.
