"The Lego Movie."

Right after being passed over for an Academy Award nomination in the animated feature film category, "The LEGO Movie" gave its creators a consolation prize. The film took home the gold at the 2015 Critics Choice Awards.

Co-director Chris Miller, referencing the Oscars snub, noted, “What a roller coaster of emotions today has been.”

The other nominees were:

• Big Hero 6, 
• The Book of Life, 
• The Boxtrolls, and 
• How to Train Your Dragon 2

The Critics Choice Awards was hosted by Michael Strahan at the Hollywood Palladium. It happens every year and the ceremony was broadcast live on the A&E network for its 20th anniversary year.
