It’s been a tough go of it lately for my nephew’s favorite movie of 2014.
After being dubbed the favorite to win the Golden Globe for best animated feature film, “The LEGO Movie” failed to take home the trophy. And when the nominees were announced today for best animated feature at next month’s Academy Awards, the film somehow didn’t even make the list.
But not to worry, fans, as one of the film’s directors Phil Lord made sure that the movie that grossed almost $258 million domestically is going home with some hardware:

It’s not like any of us rushed out to see “The Tale of Princess Kaguya,” but we have a hard time believing it will stand the test of time with “The LEGO Movie.”
The movie’s exclusion from the list of Oscar nominees left the panties of many moviegoers in a bunch, but Lord reminded them that Oscar or no Oscar, it was a hell of a ride.
This is not a tragedy. Congrats to incredible crew and cast of The Lego Movie, who made a classic.
