There's No Ken Without Barbie: Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwing "Snobees" at the Oscars

  If Barbie was nominated eight times for the 2024 Oscars, Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were “forgotten” in the best actress and best director categories.

Eight nominations but omissions that do not go away. The contenders for the 2024 Oscars were revealed on Tuesday January 23, with Christopher Nolan's biopic of the father of the atomic bomb, Oppenheimer, coming in first with 13 nominations. The other phenomenon of 2023, Barbie, has been nominated several times, notably for best film.

Ryan Gosling is also in the running for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and America Ferrera for Best Supporting Actress. Let's add nominations for best adapted screenplay, best song, sets, etc.

But two names, although celebrated during previous ceremonies such as the Golden Globes, are missing: Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig. If they compete as producer - Margot Robbie is co-producer of Barbie, competing in the best film category - and co-writer - the film is nominated in the best adapted screenplay category, Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig have been "forgotten" by the best actress and best director categories. Which did not fail to make the Barbie cast react.

“Their work should be recognized”

Shortly after the announcement of his nomination, Ryan Gosling said he was very "honored" in a statement but also expressed his disappointment.

“There is no Ken without Barbie and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people behind this historic and celebrated film around the world,” he said on Tuesday. .
