Despite scoring 8 Oscar nominations (including one for Ryan Gosling as Ken), Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig were snubbed. And now Hollywood is angry and Gosling has to basically apologize. But was the Barbie movie really THAT good or is it about "the message?" ➡️ Tip Jar and Fan Support: http://ClownfishSupport.com ➡️ Official Merch Store: http://ShopClownfish.com ➡️ Official Website: http://ClownfishTV.com ➡️ Audio Edition: https://open.spotify.com/show/6qJc5C6OkQkaZnGCeuVOD1 ➡️ Gaming News: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A7VIqE3r5MQkFgL9nifNc Additional Context: The situation surrounding the Oscar nominations for the "Barbie" movie has stirred up significant discussion and controversy in Hollywood. The film, featuring Ryan Gosling as Ken, secured eight Oscar nominations, including one for Gosling’s performance. However, notable omissions in the nominations were Margot Robbie, who played Barbie, and Greta Gerwig, the film’s director. Their exclusion from the Best Actress and Best Director categories, respectively, has led to widespread disappointment and criticism within the industry. Ryan Gosling expressed his dismay at the snubs, emphasizing the importance of both Robbie and Gerwig to the success and creation of the "Barbie" movie. He stated, "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." The controversy highlights deeper issues within the film industry, particularly regarding gender politics, which the "Barbie" film itself critiques. The film’s portrayal of Barbie’s and Ken’s journeys through gender stereotypes and societal expectations has been praised for its insightful and subversive approach. However, the Academy’s decision to recognize Gosling’s supporting role while overlooking the leading contributions of Robbie and Gerwig has been perceived by many as indicative of ongoing gender biases in Hollywood. This situation raises questions about the criteria and biases that may influence Oscar nominations. While the "Barbie" movie received critical acclaim and performed well at the box office, the discussion has shifted to whether the film’s quality or its message about gender roles and expectations in society played a more significant role in its reception and the subsequent Oscar nominations​​​​.
