Pay close attention to the movie’s famous clock tower scene. Filmed at BRICK 2014, a convention for fans of the inter-locking bricks, it was animated and photographed by Vicki Smith and Daniel Jamieson, and the set was built by Elspeth De Montes. Is it worthy of a LEGO Oscar?  Clint Eastwood (R), Meryl Streep (L) and Bradley Cooper pose for a photo with Oscars made of lego bricks after the end of the 87th Oscars February 22, 2015 in Hollywood, California.
