Kids Reenact 2015 Oscar-Nominated Films, Such as American Sniper (Fake Baby Included)—Watch!

When they're spoofing Oscar-nominated movies, kids sure say the darndest things...

Children reenact scenes from American Sniper and the other seven movies nominated for Best Picture at the 2015 Oscars in an annual video parody produced by Mom.me, honoring the year's top award nominees.

This year's spoof, posted on Wednesday, even pays tribute to the fake baby used in the former film, which stars Bradley Cooper as an Iraq War veteran and expert sniper who serves several tours.

"BRB, gotta go to Iraq," the boy who portrays his character says.

"This thing's plastic!" says a little girl playing his wife and the mother of his infant son.

Also in the video, a boy plays Eddie Redmayne's role in the biographical movie The Theory of Everything. Redmayne portrays world-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, who suffers from motor neuron disease and is confined to a wheelchair, communicating via a computer that provides a robotic voice.

"I've made three children in this wheelchair," the kid says. "What have you done?"

Another scene comes from Selma, during which iconic civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. talks to President Lyndon B. Johnson about voting rights for black Americans. In the spoof, "King" does a little name-dropping.

Kids also mock Ethan Hawke's appearance (or one of them, at least) in Richard Linklater's innovative, coming-of-age drama Boyhood, take on J.K. Simmons' bullying behavior towards his music student in Whiplash and appear as symmetrical as can be in a spoof of Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel.

They also make the subtext the main plot point while playing characters in The Imitation Game and address the elephant, or, er, bat in the room in Birdman. And it's a bit of a hairy situation.

The 2015 Oscars will take place live on Sunday, Feb. 22 at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. ET.
