'Barbie' fans shocked: Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie got snubbed by Oscars | RHZ4398 | 2024-01-27 10:08:01
It is decidedly not a Barbie world on the 96th Academy Awards.
This morning (Jan. 23) the Academy announced its 2024 Oscar nominations, and two Barbie favorites have been snubbed: Greta Gerwig for Greatest Director and Margot Robbie for Greatest Actress. But the movie did stroll away with eight nominations, together with Greatest Picture, Gerwig and Noah Baumbach for Greatest Tailored Screenplay, Ryan Gosling for Greatest Supporting Actor, and America Ferrera for Greatest Supporting Actress.
For Barbie followers, Gerwig and Robbie's snubs felt just a little too near the themes of the film. Fans pointed to Gosling's Ken getting nominated as an alternative of Robbie's Barbie as proof of patriarchy in the Actual World, despite the actors competing in several categories — and Ferrera scoring a shock nomination.
To some, this moment is the right encapsulation of Ferrera's now Oscar-nominated monologue: "[Women] need to all the time be extraordinary, however someway we're all the time doing it improper."
As all the time, followers took to Twitter / X to air their grievances. One fan posted, "Ken getting nominated and never Barbie is truthfully so becoming for a movie a few man discovering the facility of patriarchy within the Actual World." Another wrote, "Ryan Gosling, whereas deserving, received an Oscar nomination for Barbie while Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie didn't? Utterly proving the point of the film in 20 fucking 24 you can't make this up." Dozens of posts echo this sentiment.
