An Emoji Guide to the 2014 Best Picture Oscar Nominees

If you haven't had a chance to see all nine of the Academy Awards Best Picture nominees this year, don't worry.

In celebration of the prestige and honor each Oscar statuette represents, we've compiled summaries of each film that's up for the big prize so you don't have to miss out on your office pool.

And with respect to the complicated, emotional and powerful stories told in all of the films, we created the summaries in the language of emoji.

Despite emojis being a universal language, narrating some of the films' plot points required a little creativity. The cute icons tend to lack in things like drug use variety, transportation and other areas of diversity.

Take a look and tune in Sunday night to see which awkward-smiling-face will be the big winner.
