Twitter was pretty stunned to hear The LEGO Movie wasn't nominated for best animated feature.
They didn't nominate The LEGO Movie for Best Animated feature so that they can nominate it for Best Picture, right? ...Right?
But wait, there was a simple explanation!
oh no... a movie about Lego is going to get a best picture nomination...
Surely.
Maybe #legomovie up for Best Pic? #OscarNoms
But...no.
#EverythingIsAwkward
Most people were outraged.
if the Oscars are going to snub the Lego Movie, then I'm snubbing the Oscars
In honor of THE LEGO MOVIE, am going to buy HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2 on Blu-Ray and destroy it with a hammer.
Lego Movie trending... The people are revolting!
I predict that this Lego Movie snub will be the end of the Academy. We can't just move on from something like this
Some people saw light amid the gloom.
to be fair the lego movie can just build an oscar for itself
And as it happened – one of the writer/directors did.
It's okay. Made my own!
And there was this bit of good news.
Had to check, because I didn’t think it did, but ‘Everything is Awesome’ from the Lego Movie got a Best Song nomination, at least…
Which didn't seem to cheer the other writer/director Chris Miller up too much.
Congrats to "Everything is Awesome" though currently the title of the song doesn't seem especially accurate!
Basically, this is how we're feeling right now.
The Lego Movie should have gotten ALL the #OscarNoms. #EverythingIsNotAwesome
I can't bear to look at their little faces :(
Lego movie got robbed.
