Time for LEGO's redemption at the Boffys.

Time for LEGO's redemption at the Boffys.

It won't win there either, but at least Blanks can be happy with it getting nominated.

Rourke bad mouthed Marvel.  He called Iron Man 2 shit.  He said that he worked hard on the character and he was told that he could bring some of his ideas to the role nd then they left about 80% of his ideas on the cutting room floor.  And he's right.  Iron Man 2 is horrible.  So yes, he bad mouthed Marvel but he  was right.

[Blankments]

Honestly, I wouldn't have minded if the positions were switched and LEGO was only nominated for Animated Feature with Dragon 2 only being nominated for Song but NOPE

It is though. Like I found it funny. Especially cus like after the GG win of HTTYD2 we were all like Dragon 2 might not even get nommed and it was Lego who ended up being snubbed. 

[ecstasy]

Sorry, maybe it was too much...allow me to rephrase it:

 

It was a horrible piece of shit and it made me want to slit my wrists and then pour vinegar on the wounds, anything to take away the pain of watching that horrible horrible film.

 

LOL don't hold back. Give us more.

[Blankments]

This is gonna be a lowwwww rated oscar broadcast. nph won't bring the viewers like other hosts have. Not really any audience favorites among the nominees. I guess Sniper is about to make lots of money.

IKR? They should've nominated LEGO for BP, now the GA is just gonna tune out after Lonely Island's performance

[Empire]

Lego missing out is a shame, but TinTin not being nominated in 2011 was a bigger snub in this category.

[baumer]

Lego was a gimmick.  Another pet Rock.  It had characters from other movies and that was like a shiny new chew toy for a dog, yes, the dog in this case is all of you, brainwashed by that shiny new toy.  Problem is, there was nothing to it.  It was a painful experience watching that film.

Also. Ha. Ha. Ha. Lego snubbed.

YOU'RE RIGHT LEGO'S SNUB IS THE MOST FUCKING HILARIOUS THING IN THE HISTORY OF THE FUCKING ACADEMY

[baumer]

Don't think I'm immune to brainwashing.  Obviously Bay has brainwashed the shit out of me with cool soundtracks, hot babes and shiny cars dancing in the sky.

[John Marston]

looks like American Sniper can be the highest grossing nominee by Monday maybe. 

[ecstasy]

YOU'RE RIGHT LEGO'S SNUB IS THE MOST FUCKING HILARIOUS THING IN THE HISTORY OF THE FUCKING ACADEMY

 

You're taking this really hard.  I feel for you.

[DAR]

So what's the consensus?

[#ED]

Shooting in IMAX doesn't automatically mean "best".

But it was the best.

[DoctorWho]

Where's the LEGO Movie???????
