Though most of the world tuned in to watch the 87th Academy Awards last Sunday to see the best films of the year getting recognition for the hard work of many people, it seems like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was watching for something different altogether: hating on the "Interstellar" special effects!
Ever since the Christopher Nolan film came out late last year, NASA has made its distaste for the film quite clear, regardless of the "Interstellar" special effects that won an Oscar over the past Sunday; now, they've taken to social media to tear apart the movie!
The people at London-based VFX studio Double Negative (which merged with Indian Prime Focus in 2014, according to QZ) were celebrating the "Interstellar" special effects victory at the Oscars (the only award the film took at the Academy Awards), but at the same time NASA was tweeting snide comments about the movie.
International Business Times reports the whole thing kind of like a soap opera, with NASA trying to top its own comments about the "Interstellar" special effects win, posting beautiful and real space pictures on the way there.
"Follow .@Interstellar won #Oscars2015 for visual effects. Here's a visual of Earth. No effects. https://instagram.com/nasa," NASA tweeted last Monday, as a response to the "Interstellar" special effects Oscar win the day before.
As The Huffington Post reports, they then went on to tweet that the NASA Kepler mission was currently still working on finding real alien worlds, unlike the fake ones that were created for the movie - it must surely be frustrating when you spend billions of dollars worth of research to find new planets and a movie gets all the credit for showing fake ones.
However, the biggest stinger of it all towards the "Interstellar" special effects win was probably a video that NASA posted on its YouTube channel, which featured recent Oscar winning actor Eddie Redmayne, who played Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything," talking about the famous physicist and his inspiration - which you can watch below!
