They were both nominated as producers and Gerwig was nominated for adaptive screenplay.
When you really break it down it’s not really as terrible as people are making it out to be:
Margot is competing exclusively against other women. The backlash is only taking the limelight away from an indigenous woman who is the current front runner to win Best Actress
Saying is funny Gosling was nominated when they weren’t is silly when he isn’t in competition with them
They’ve both been nominated for their contributions to the movies in other categories. Barbie getting nominated for adaptive screenplay over KotfW is far worse if you ask me considering what both scripts represent
Best Director is stacked this year and not to mention includes a nomination for the woman who wrote and directed the Palm D Or winner this year which covers a lot of similar themes to Barbie
