Oscar Snubs for 'Barbie' Director and Lead Actress Spark Outrage

Despite Eight Nominations for the Film, Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie Miss Out on Best Director and Best Actress Nods

Despite the commercial success and critical acclaim of the film 'Barbie', director Greta Gerwig and lead actress Margot Robbie were not nominated for Best Director and Best Actress respectively at the 2024 Oscars.
Ryan Gosling, who played Ken in the film, and America Ferrera, who played Gloria, were nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Actress respectively.
Many industry insiders and fans have expressed disappointment and outrage over the perceived snubs, arguing that Gerwig and Robbie's contributions were instrumental to the film's success.
Hillary Clinton also weighed in on the controversy, expressing support for Gerwig and Robbie in a social media post.
The film 'Barbie' is still in the running for Best Picture, and Gerwig is a strong contender for Best Adapted Screenplay.
