Twitter Buzz: The Best Responses To THE LEGO MOVIE Oscar Snub

For most, the biggest snub at this morning's Oscar Nominee ceremony was Phil Lord and Chris Miller's The Lego Movie not receiving a nomination for Best Animated Feature. "Congrats to 'Everything is Awesome' though currently the title of the song doesn't seem especially accurate!," said Miller.

One of the most surprising Oscar snubs of today's Nominee announcement was the fact that The Lego Movie was not among the nominees for The Best Animated Feature. Outrage quickly spread across Twitter at the omission and below you can view a sample of some of the choicer reactions from the Twittersphere.
 















 




"The LEGO® Movie," the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller, opens in theaters February 7, 2014. It stars the vocal talents of Chris Pratt, Will Ferrell, Elizabeth Banks, Will Arnett, Nick Offerman and Alison Brie, with Liam Neeson and Morgan Freeman.

The original 3D computer animated story follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

"better than 7 of the 8 movies nominated for Best Picture"

That explains so much, smh.

But yeah The Lego Movie was snubbed.

This was probably the best movie this past year. I enjoy it every time it's on and still from time to time catch jokes going on in the background.

Everyone knows the Oscars is all politics and campaigning. Doesn't mean shit. THE LEGO MOVIE is easily the best animated American film in 2014.

I think it should have been nominated but I also think Big Hero 6 deserves to win. The way it dealt with someones depression all the way through the film was brilliant. Although it did follow the kill the hero to bring them back at the end formula Disney used in both Frozen and Tangled.

lmao... is this even happening xD

lego is not better than HTTYD 2 and from what i hear online the oscar is pretty much 100% going to the movie kaguya. i never expected it to not get a nomination, but i knew it would never win.

the movie is just a fun movie. but the ending is weird and confusing. doesnt make sense and the live action lastet too long

I didn't like it as much as everyone else did. I thought it was okay, in my opinion the first two parts were nothing special but the third act was a stroke of genius. It definitely deserved to be nominated, bus HTTYD2 and Big Hero 6 are the superior films IMO, BH6 had much more heart and HTTYD2 had the best drama of all of them, all the stoic/ hiccup parts of the movie are awesome, but it also had the most anticlimatic ending.

The Lego Movie is (in my opinion) my favorite movie of 2014 (apart from Guardians of Galaxy, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and The Hobbit 3). It's ten times better than Big Hero 6. Just a shame that it didn't make to the Best Animated Feature :(

But all of the contenders and the Lego movie are MILES ahead of Frozen, which was nothing special except for the music (wich was great)

If anybody thinks it doesn't deserve it, even on technical merits, you gotta watch this video, crazy amount of work that went into it...

Absolute travesty that it wasn't even nominated - it should have won!

Kazaam - 1/15/2015, 12:52 PM
I just hope HTTYD 2 wins. The movie is spectacular for kids and adults, has an incredible amount of heart and an amazing soundtrack. Just as good as the first, if not better.

Seen about 30 minutes of the Lego movie. I laughed, it was funny. Not like the Oscars are important anyway.

@Kazaam Agree HTTYD 2 Was that perfect animated sequel IMO. Haven't seen Big Hero 6 yet. And for fear of attack of the fanboys I will keep silent about how I feel about The Lego Movie......

The Lego movie was pretty good. I didn't see any of the other animated films that actually got nominated but I doubt they're that much, if at all, better than the lego one.
TheBigLebowski
TheBigLebowski - 1/15/2015, 1:21 PM
This was a funny and entertaining movie, made better by the fact that everyone thought a "lego movie" would be a piece of shit. But why does that mean it should be nominated for the best animated film oscar? Kinda like you shouldn't nominate Edge of Tomorrow for best picture.

It deserved totally a nomination. The movie really felt like real legos were alive! Technically speaking it was over the top, and the humor is like a big bonus.
Dragons 2 is also beautiful (especially the landscapes, amazing).
Really enjoyed Big Hero 6, I support it for the win actually

The Lego Movie was pretty good… but I wouldn't disrespect the other nominated films just to make a case.

Some people need to relax. Warner Bros and Lego made plenty of money.

Maybe the voters are retarded enough to think it's a movie fully made out of actual freaking legos instead of CGI. To people as stupid as them, that would not fit into the "animation" category. Of course, to think that so many film professionals would not know about the techinicalities of the LEGO movie is a too farfetched...
ALF9001
ALF9001 - 1/15/2015, 2:27 PM
@Batz I'm sorry, but if we're talking about technical merits, HTTYD2 takes the gold, the level of detail and hard work that went into that movie blew my mind. It's the first animated movie with Dreamworks' new software and it looks beautiful

@ ShadowakaTank: "its that good?" .....haha, you have no f*cking idea. watch the movie, seriously. its fan-freaking-tastic. everything you want or expect from a lego movie. and a few things you probably didnt.

the fact that it didnt get nominated is a travesty wrapped in a conundrum shoved up the ass-end of a LOLWUT.

TheOverlord - 1/15/2015, 4:20 PM
@ShadowakaTank Yes, it was that good. I didn't want to like it - got dragged to it by my kids, thinking it would be a pile of shit. But it was AWESOME. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Lego Movie was absolutely brilliant and a hell of a lot of fun to watch. It definitely is snubbed for the Oscar.

I don't remember this movie being that good. I mean I liked it but I like most animated films that aren't Cars or Monsters University.

"I'm gonna assume all the Academy voters had recovered PTSD memories of stepping on a Lego piece with a bare foot. #snub"

Classic.

Why it's not nominated? It doesn't make any sense.
