Everything is not awesome in Oscars-land.

The Academy Awards snubbed The Lego Movie Thursday morning, denying the brick flick a nomination for Best Animated Picture. Lego Movie co-director Phil Lord responded to the snub on Twitter with perfect, plastic grace.

Lord also took a moment to tweet thank to the film's cast and crew.

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

In the words of Bad Cop, "Darn, darn, darn, darny-darn!"
