The film, one of the major box office successes of 2014, was beat by Big Hero 6, The Boxtrolls, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Song of the Sea, and The Tale of the Princess Kaguya for the nominations at the Academy Awards in 2015.

The snub surprised a great deal of people; not only has it grossed close to $470 million globally, it also scored a 96 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, notoriously a tough site to gain even a rating in the 90s.

But even though the omission stung for everyone involved, one of the film's writers and directors, Philip Lord, took it in stride, coming up a very awesome response on Twitter.

He tweeted, "It's okay. Made my own! http://t.co/kgyu1GRHGR- philip lord (@philiplord) January 15, 2015" Jokes aside, Lord also wanted everyone to know he wasn't taking it too personally. He then thanked everyone who helped make the movie "a classic."

"This is not a tragedy. Congrats to incredible crew and cast of The Lego Movie, who made a classic.- philip lord (@philiplord) January 15, 2015"
