\"LegoMovie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s not an announcement of Academy Award nominations without some surprises and snubs. One of the biggest surprises this year was the snub of critically and publicly popular The Lego Movie<\/strong> not being nominated in either the Best Picture or Best Animated Feature categories. (Which raises the question as to whether Academy members were unsure as to which category to place a nomination for The Lego Movie<\/strong>, thus diluting the support for it across the two categories.)<\/p>\n

And while there seems to be an uproar going across the internet about the film’s lack of nominations outside of one for Best Original Song (“Everything Is Awesome”), co-writers and co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller demonstrated a sense of humor about things as they took to twitter to comment.<\/p>\n
