‘Lego Movie’ directors still sore about Academy Awards snub

Crowd-pleaser “The Lego Movie” took home a BAFTA this weekend for Best Animated Film, but that apparently doesn’t quite wash away the slight of being passed over for an Oscar nomination. While accepting their award in London, co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller didn’t let the opportunity pass to make a dig at the Hollywood elite who left them out of the big show.

“You are our favorite Academy by far,” Lord said from the BAFTA stage. “You guys win the award for best Academy. This is the end of the awards road for us, so we can say whatever we want. There’s no one left to impress.”
