“Margot Robbie did not receive an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in 2024 for her role in Barbie. But what can we expect from a xenophobic, misogynistic and sexist awards show? Only the worst. Today, once again, they silenced a woman, everyone at the academy they’re going to pay for it,” criticized one user. Another took the opportunity to praise the “Barbie” script: “We realize how transgressive the ‘Barbie’ script is and highlights exactly how patriarchy persists. They didn’t nominate Margot Robbie for Best Actress or Greta Gerwig for Best Director, but they nominated Ryan Gosling” , he commented.

Another noted, “Ryan Gosling, deservedly or not, got an Oscar nomination for ‘Barbie’ while Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie didn’t? This completely proves the point of the movie in 2024,” he concluded. “Literally, the entire purpose of the movie ‘Barbie'”, highlighted another.
