Margot Robbie, who performed the titular charater within the movie Barbie, lastly broke her silence on the Oscars sunbs that enraged the Internet to an ideal extent. Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig didn’t obtain nominations within the classes of the Best Actress and the Best Director respectively. Reacting to on being ignored of the nominations, Margot Robbie advised Variety, “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed.” However, she admitted that Great Gerwig’s lack of inclusion was a bit upsetting for her. She mentioned, “Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as a director. What she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing. What she pulled off, it really is. But it’s been an incredible year for all the films.”
Talking about folks’s sturdy reactions to her and Greta Gerwig’s lack of nominations, Margot Robbie advised Vaiety, “People’s reactions to the movie have been the biggest reward of this entire experience”. She continued, “Whether it’s seeing what people are writing online, or even just seeing how much pink I can see in this room right now…I’ve never been a part of something like this. Not like this. I’ve done comic book stuff and that gets a big reaction, but this felt very different. It still feels very different. And I can’t think of a time when a movie’s had this effect on culture. And it’s amazing to be in the eye of the storm.”
However, Barbie co-stars Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera have been nominated within the Best Supporting Actor and the Best Supporting Actress classes, respectively. The movie has been nominated for the Best Picture as effectively. Earlier, Margot’s co-star Ryan Gosling shared his disappointment with People and mentioned, “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.”
He added, “No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius.” He talked about, “Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees.”
Barbie, one of many greatest hits of 2023, featured Margot Robbie within the eponymous position with Ryan Gosling as Ken, and America Ferrera, Simu Liu, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Rhea Perlman, and Will Ferrell in supporting roles. The movie is a contemporary adaptation of the Barbie-myth. In the movie, Barbie discovers the true world with the true issues of patriarchy as soon as she steps out of her dreamy homeland.
