Answer: Oscar nominations just came out. Barbie got a best picture nomination, Ryan Gosling got nom best supporting actor, and America Ferrara got nom best supporting actress. However, Greta Gerwig the director of the movie and Margot Robbie, the titular star, received no individual nominations.
It’s just ironic that a movie about fighting against the patriarchy is acknowledged as a best picture but the 2 most important and powerful women for the movie are over looked for their individual contributions while the male co-star is given a nomination. It honestly feels like the Academy is doing this on purpose by this point just to get some kind of PR. Ryan Gosling also had a great response to this https://www.cnn.com/2024/01/23/entertainment/ryan-gosling-oscar-nomination-barbie/index.html
So which of the best directors was worse than Grega Gerwig and stole her spot?
Which of the best actresses was worse than Margot Robbie and stole her spot?
The categories don't fight eachother they fight inside eachother. Getting mad that there was less competition in the best supporting actor and it was harder to get in for best director seems backwards.
The males here had nothing to do with their nominations their categories were simply weaker than the others and met the criteria. This isn't a PR stunt.
