To psych everyone up for Sunday's Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel decided to pay homage to two of the nominees on Thursday night's Kimmel Live. In practice, that meant layering some audio from The Imitation Game — the Best Picture–nominated story of genius mathematician Alan Turing — on top of video from Best Animated Picture nominee How to Train Your Dragon 2. You don't really need to know anything about either movie to appreciate this mash-up, but it's not too much of a spoiler to note that Turning was gay. That said, as Kimmel promises, the surprisingly seamless result is something "that all ages can enjoy." —Peter Weber
