The Lego Movie was nominated at the Oscars in which category?

The Lego Movie was nominated at the Oscars in the Best Original Song category. Its nominated song was “Everything Is Awesome,” written by Shawn Patterson, Joshua Bartholomew, and Lisa Harriton.

The nomination came at the 87th Academy Awards, honoring films released in 2014. In the official Oscar listing, the nomination was credited to Patterson for the song’s music and lyrics. The energetic track appears prominently in the film and became one of its defining cultural signatures.

A common mix-up is assuming that The Lego Movie was nominated for Best Animated Feature, since it was widely praised as an animated film. It was nominated in that category at several other awards ceremonies, including the Critics’ Choice Awards, but not at the Oscars. “Everything Is Awesome” ultimately lost the Oscar to “Glory” from Selma, but its nomination remains the film’s sole Academy Award recognition.
