Oscars betting pools are generally a waste of time and money, on account of the Academy Awards being too predictable: Everyone places their bets on whoever the Entertainment Weekly said would win, and then three-quarters of the people in your pool are forced to split the prize.

Remember when the Oscars had five Best Picture nominees and then they switched it to 10? Remember when they stopped that and now it's going to be like six or seven or nine or who the fuck knows? Well, they announced how they're going to figure out the nominees. Proceed only if you have a PhD in imaginary math.

Lego maestro and film buff Alex Eylar has used his unique skills to recreate scenes from each of the 10 Oscar nominees for Best Picture. We never thought Jeff Bridges would look so menacing as a tiny plastic man!
