Here Are Your 2014 Best Picture Nominees, Reenacted by Adorable Children
As great as the ensemble of Kindergarten Hustle is, it’s hard not to believe that one of the Kid McConaugheys is going home with a statue. (They threw away a lot of their early careers on infant rom-coms, but the Academy loves to reward comebacks, and the Adderalled-up wolf cub totally steals his one scene with the chest-drumming.) Maybe, maybe we can get behind Baby Gravity because of its groundbreaking effects work, but we still found the story thin and Tiny Clooney’s character underwritten. (Note: No toddlers were harmed despite being jettisoned into the inky void of space, as far as we know.)
