There is a very good reason that the baby in American Sniper did not receive any Academy Awards.
It is because the baby in the movie is a fake.
The baby that actor Bradley Cooper holds in one of the movie scenes is actually a mechanized doll.
The real baby showed up with a fever.
And the backup, was a no-show, so director Clint Eastwood went with the doll.
Someone created a Twitter account for the fake baby and tweeted "I am not straight from Toys R Us."
