THE LEGO MOVIE Wins BAFTA For Best Animated Film
Many of us were shocked that The LEGO Movie wasn't so much as nominated for best animated film at the Oscars, but everything was awesome for the brilliant flick at the 68th British Academy of Film and Television Awards. Click on for the complete list of winners.
Phil Lord and Chris Miller's delightful brick-based adventure may have been snubbed at the Oscars, but The LEGO Movie got some well deserved recognition at the 68th annual British Academy of Film and Television Awards (BAFTAS) where it won Best Animated Film. There weren't really many other CBM related winners, though Christopher Nolan's Interstellar was given the award for best visual effects. Birdman pretty much lost out on all major awards to Boyhood, which won Best Film along with a Best Director gong for Richard Linklater and a well deserved Best Supporting Actress award for Patricia Arquette. Elsewhere, Julianne Moore (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay) was the best Leading Actress for Still Alice, and Spider-Man's J.K. Simmons walked away with a best Supporting Actor award for Whiplash. You'll find the complete list of winners below.
