Oscars 2024 ignore Greta Gerwig & Margot Robbie's Barbie

The 2024 Oscar nominations have been announced, leading to significant buzz around the highly successful film "Barbie." Despite the movie's impressive box office performance, grossing $1.4 billion worldwide, and general critical acclaim, its lead talent was conspicuously overlooked in key categories. Both Margot Robbie, who starred as Barbie, and Greta Gerwig, the film's director, did not receive nominations for Best Actress and Best Director, respectively. Ryan Gosling was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Ken, and America Ferrera for Best Supporting Actress. Discussion on social media following the nominations revealed disappointment and surprise from fans and commentators, who believed the achievements of Robbie and Gerwig deserved recognition. Other surprises from the Oscars included snubs for Greta Lee, Barry Keoghan, Daniel Pemberton's score for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," and "Killers of the Flower Moon." The Oscars ceremony is scheduled for March 10 at the Dolby Theater in LA and will be broadcast live across various platforms.
