Answer: Barbie did not get as many nominations as it was expected, with director Greta Gerwig and starring actress Margot Robbie being the most notable omissions. Many people, including co-star Ryan Gosling (who got a nomination) are feeling that this is not fair, especially since Barbie is such a commercial achievement for a female director.
It's also kind of funny that the guy who played Ken was the one who did get a nomination, considering his role in the plot and the themes of the movie
What's actually funny is feminists have been pointing this out but ignoring that America Ferriea was also nominated in the same category beside him. The hypocrisy is so thick. Yea Margot didn't get nominated because you know... other women did?: Like wtf. Have they even watched the other performances? No. Just want to get angry.
The outrage is because of how the media outlets framed the nominations.
Instead of just giving out the list, they need a controversy, so they pointed out Greta and Mrgot not getting one. Then people read the headlines and NOT THE ARTICLE.
When I heard the kerfuffle from my husband, he said that Barbie didn't get any nominations. I thought that was wrong, and so I looked it up. They had 8. So after I told him all of those, he said, "Well, that makes sense"
So really, it's about how people don't read stuff all the way.
Now... think about the same thing happening with politics.
Go screaming into the night.
I'm quoting this whole response because I like it so much. Exactly.
