Fake baby steals the spotlight from stars in Oscar-tipped American Sniper

You'll never work in this town again, baby

Katie Mythen-Lynch

It’s true: American Sniper, the true story of legendary soldier Chris Kyleis one of the most outstanding films of the year and thoroughly deserving of its six Oscar nominations. Apart from one scene.

Film buffs were quick to point out the very fake looking animatronic baby who plays the lead character’s baby daughter in the second half of the movie.

The rather stiff looking doll steals the spotlight from stars Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller in the movie, directed by Clint Eastwood.

Luckily the faux pas doesn’t appear to have affected ticket sales, with American Sniper grossing over $90m in the box office during January.

Have a look at the clip below to see why we feel this plastic baby should be nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award.
