Oscars 2024: Barbie’s Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie snubbed from key nominations

Oscars 2024 nominations are out and in a major blow, Barbie’s Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie were excluded from the directing and lead actress categories.

Excluding the two major women responsible for the film that became the biggest blockbuster of 2023, seems not good at all.

Many expected Gerwig and Robbie to show up in the best director and best actress categories after Barbie movie bagged $1.44bn (£1.14bn) at the box office worldwide.

Interestingly, Ryan Gosling gets nominated for playing Ken but Margot Robbie wasn’t nominated for playing Barbie in the movie.

There were nods for Barbie’s star and director but elsewhere!

Robbie has been recognised as a producer in the best picture line-up, while Gerwig gets nominated for best-adapted screenplay.

While Robbie was snubbed on a best actress nod, her co-star America Ferrera scored a surprise supporting actress nomination.

And as soon as the Oscar Nominations were announced, film fans were left annoyed.

Reactions to the exclusion of Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig are poring in on X-platform’s timeline.
