In a fairly complicated angular web app, I need the dynamic year to show up in a footer that doesn't have a directive. Is there an angular way to do it using just {{SomeDateFunction()}}?

I've seen people say {{Date.now() | date:'yyyy'}}, which doesn't display anything. I've tried {{new Date().getFullYear()}} which breaks angular and the error says

Syntax Error: Token 'Date' is an unexpected token at column 5 of the expression [new Date().getFullYear()] starting at [Date().getFullYear(].

I don't want to link a scope from the root scope, or put this in a directive just for the year, this is exactly the kind of thing {{ }} expressions should be able to solve, and non-date related simple {{ }} expressions display just fine.
