The Lego Movie may have been seriously snubbed for Best Animated Picture, but its performance at the Oscars makes up for the lost recognition.

Tegan and Sara teamed up with the Lonely Island for a raucous version of "Everything Is Awesome," the film's Oscar-nominated song. Though short, the high-energy performance was absolutely packed with celebrity cameos (hi, Questlove!), dancing construction workers and, of course, Legos.

Added bonus: Will Arnett appeared on-stage dressed as Batman, a nod to his role in the film.

Lego Movie director Philip Lord teased the performance just before Tegan and Sara took the stage on Sunday night.

Hopefully a successful performance is enough to ease the sting of a snub, at least until the Best Animated Picture award is announced.
