Ryan Gosling Speaks Out on “Barbie” Oscar Snubs for Gerwig & Robbie

Ryan Gosling got an Oscar nod for playing Ken in the film “Barbie.” He has spoken out about the snubs for his director Greta Gerwig and his co-star Margot Robbie in the main categories.

Gosling said he was disappointed. Gerwig and Robbie weren’t nominated for Best Director and Best Actress. He thinks they are the main reason the film was successful. He called the film “history-making” and celebrated worldwide.

Gosling said, “Ken needs Barbie, and Barbie movies need Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie.” “They made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. I am very disappointed that they were not recognized in their categories.

Gerwig and Robbie were snubbed, but they received recognition in other categories. Gerwig and her husband Noah Baumbach were both nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. Robbie was recognized as a producer in the Best Picture category. The film got eight nominations. They were nominated for Best Picture. Ryan Gosling was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. America Ferrera was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. They were also nominated for Best Original Song. They were also nominated for Best Costume Design. They were also nominated for Best Production Design. They were also nominated for Best Visual Effects.

Gosling was happy for his co-star America Ferrera. She played Gloria, Barbie’s best friend. He said that he was “thrilled” for her nomination and that she was “a joy to work with.”

The Barbie movie made the most money in 2023, earning $1.44bn (£1.14bn) worldwide. People loved the Barbie mythos. It was clever, funny, and empowering. Critics and audiences both loved it. They also praised the diverse and talented cast.

The film also started discussions about awards, gender bias in film, and the film’s cultural impact. Fans and celebrities showed support for Gosling’s statement. Some even started online campaigns to demand justice for Gerwig and Robbie. Others, however, argued that the film was overrated, superficial, or undeserving of the accolades it received.

The Oscars didn’t nominate Gerwig and Robbie. This shows how award dynamics are complicated and how female filmmakers and actors in Hollywood face challenges. Gosling supports their creative vision and appreciates their contributions to the film’s success. We don’t know how the Academy will respond to the backlash or how the public will react to the winners. The film is generating buzz and controversy.
