The Lego Movie Got Snubbed by the Oscars, but the Director Had the Best Response

One of the biggest disappointments to come from this year's Oscar nominations is that the wonderful Lego Movie didn't receive a nod for best animated film.

Anyone who saw the flick was baffled by the news, and there's no doubt that the directors felt the sting, too. One of them — Philip Lord — had the perfect response on Twitter though.

This is not a tragedy. Congrats to incredible crew and cast of The Lego Movie, who made a classic.

The rest of Twitter didn't react so well.

This morning's shocking snub of The Lego Movie proves what I've always known about the Academy. They're totally Playmobil people.

So much injustice in the world, but The Lego Movie not being nominated seems to cap it all this morning. I must leave LA.
