The nominations for the 96th Academy Awards are out, and two of the biggest snubs are without question Barbie director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie getting left out of the race for Best Director and Best Actress, respectively.
The two earned nominations in different categories — Gerwig for Best Adapted Screenplay, and Robbie for Best Picture thanks to her role as producer — yet their omission in Director and Actress failed to recognize their most prominent work in the film. Given that Barbie received eight nominations total, making it one of the most nominated films of the year, it is baffling that its lead and the director who made it all possible failed to make the cut.
While the internet is up in arms about these snubs, so too is one of Barbie's most prominent stars: Ryan Gosling. Gosling, who received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role as Ken, issued a statement that expresses both his honor at being nominated, and his disappointment for Gerwig and Robbie's snubs.
"I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films. And I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm also incredibly honored and proud that it's for portraying a plastic doll named Ken," Gosling wrote.
He continued: "But there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I'm disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement."
Gosling also congratulated his fellow Barbie nominees, including Best Supporting Actress nominee America Ferrera.
Seriously, it's a movie about a doll. It was nice and funny, but it's just a movie about a doll, not a masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it might deserve some technical prize and that's all.
Gerwig got the nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, so Barbie didn't exactly get "snubbed" unless Best Picture is the only award that matters to you.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I'm a little surprised Gosling got the nomination. He played a doll. That's not exactly a challenging theatrical role. I'm more surprised that Gosling did get it than that Robbie didn't.
Barbie was nominated for Best Motion Picture! 8 well deserved nominations for Barbie, not exactly snubbed
DeleteSo I'm confused. What are people complaining about then?
Deleteyou and me both!

DeleteThey deserve what they got. The movie does not rise to the level of the academy awards standards. It’s based on a doll.
ReplyDeleteYou know nothing, Jon Snow
Deleteyou clearly did not watch and or understand the movie. Probably likes the patriarchy
Deleteit’s a movie based on dolls. Don’t need to spend good money on this type of movie.
Deletehow is being based on a doll equal not up to the level of the academy awards standards?
DeleteHow does it affect: acting, set design, costumes, music, directing, etc.?
Sounds like you just hate Barbie and are perfectly exemplifying the message of the movie
There have been many winners that did not portray real life characters in documentaries ! And in fact nothing but made up characters.
Deletethey were better movies than barbie
DeleteThat's your opinion which has nothing to do with the fact it was based on a doll and you said that made it unsuitable for academy standards ?! I call BS .
Deletewe facts are universal my lady. It is what it is
Deletethey do deserve what they got! That’s 8 Oscar nominations including Best Motion Picture! https://m.imdb.com/event/ev0000003/2024/1/?ref_=fea_acd_c_oscars_%20csegosc_noms24_cta
DeleteMargot was awesome but there could have been a movie without her. The movie was really good. Gerwig deserved her nomination but I don’t see the problem.
ReplyDeleteThis will be the first time a castrata has been nominated for an academy award. Gosling has a beautiful soprano voice.
ReplyDeletemisogyny
ReplyDeleteShe ain’t kenuf
ReplyDeleteWho cares
ReplyDeleteI can maybe understand people getting upset that Gerwig wasn't nominated. But I'm kind of surprised people are shocked that Robbie wasn't. She's been cast in roles that demanded a lot more of her than this one did. She wasn't even human for most of the movie. And this generally isn't the kind of movie actors get Oscar nods for.
ReplyDelete😚💫🐖🏘🎈 The earth laughs in flowers🐀https://kongkiet-kappa.vercel.app/
DeleteBet all ‘the dudes’ agree with the snub 😂
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, the movie was very much about him and his evolution.
ReplyDeleteof course I did, did you?
DeleteSnub for days!!! Love that movie.

DeleteKen is a sidebar, just like when real girls played with the dolls ,
ReplyDeleteMargot probably shouldn't have been nominated (great actress...but this role didnt really require one)...but Greta was DEFINITELY snubbed.
ReplyDeleteGosling deserved his nod, the guy did more with that role than I thought possible.
Misogyny is alive and well in America.
ReplyDeleteDon’t get what you want? Claim racism, misogyny or whatever. Perpetual victimhood mentality.
Deleteuh, how is that misogyny if other females are nominated?
DeleteI think women boycott the Oscars. It is past time.
ReplyDeleteHe looks all old haha
ReplyDeleteWe are all kenough with out Barbie
ReplyDeleteSo what? Not everybody gets a nod. That's life.

Deleteyou’re completely missing the point. And, btw, thanks for mansplaining for us.
DeleteYou're welcome. Obviously someone needs an explanation. 🤣
Deletehe didn't understand the plot, lol

It is what it is. Success will lead the way. Diversity now is stronger than it ever has been. But it comes down to the work. I would make an educated guess and say that the majority of white voters will vote for the performance they think is the best, regardless of the color of their skin. That's how it works moreso now than ever. The fact that Barbie didn't get the female and directing nod is that their peers found other directors and female actors who were better in their eyes this year. It's not about anything other than that and the fact that controversy gathers eyeballs for ratings.
DeleteIt's a Barbie movie, no one should be getting Oscars for that 🤣

That movie was OK, nothing new or amazing, I don't know why some people think "Hype" means "Award worthy" 💁🏽♂️
ReplyDeleteyou’re missing the point! From the movie, Greta nor Margot were nominated… BUT Ryan was!!

Deletewell, that's also right, he shouldn't either, he was the worst one 😅
Deletebecause they weren’t good enough against the competition. Barbie is not an Oscar movie. And there was a better female director who did actually get nominated, Justine Triet. And America Ferrara got nominated for Barbie too for supporting actress
DeleteI Ken believe it.
ReplyDeleteTerrible Movie
ReplyDeleteOh fun… most of the garbage comments are by dudes. Not on brand at all 🙄
ReplyDeleteAnd feminists everywhere will swear it's the result of "The patriarchy" because their feelings weren't validated about this movie being award worthy.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing the amount of idiots who don't realize men and women aren't competing in the same category. Margot lost to another woman XD
ReplyDeleteUh yeah
ReplyDeleteThe movie was fun (and boring) but Oscar worthy?
Simmer down
The movie was fun but not a best actor or best picture level film. Story was kind of lame.
ReplyDeleteyou’re missing the point! From the movie, Greta nor Margot were nominated… BUT Ryan was!!
DeleteDidn’t five other women get nominated for best actress? And a female director was nominated. And America Ferrara was nominated. It’s not like they put men in that category this year. Simmer down.

DeleteSo the international press is more supportive of women in film than Hollywood??? Sad and inconsistent with all of Hollywood’s babble.
ReplyDeleteHollywood doesn’t get it!!! Barbie was way too over their intellectual heads or lack there of. It’s a powerful piece and a wonderful story.

ReplyDeleteWe aren't "shocked". This is the most expected thing ever and the movie explains why.
ReplyDeleteWhy? They didn't do anything special, Ryan stole the show though and deserves one for stand out performance in a POS movie. 😆
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Oscar worthy
ReplyDeleteI’m sure the huge paychecks take the “sting” out of it. Who really cares except the press and the sheep they drum up with their reports?
ReplyDeleteThe only ones suffering with the "sting" are the incels bros that think everything is about them.
DeleteI loved this movie!!!
ReplyDeleteGiving Funds to the first 10 people to hit me up now with “STRUGGLING” cause it’s a golden opportunity ……Stay blessed💯
