The full list of nominees for the Oscars 2024 has dropped and both Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie have received surprising snubs despite their acclaimed work on Barbie. So many fans are wondering why this is the case, considering the immense success of the film. Here are some possible answers.
Why wasn’t Margot Robbie nominated for Barbie?
The likely reason Margot Robbie was not nominated is that the Actress in a Leading Role category was too competitive this year.
It has come as a big surprise to fans that Margot Robbie was snubbed for an Oscar nomination for her performance in Barbie, despite it being highly acclaimed.
However, fans can take some solace in knowing that Robbie is still recognized in the Oscars 2024 nominations list as a producer of Barbie in the Best Picture category, alongside the other producers including her husband, Tom Ackerley.
Why wasn’t Greta Gerwig nominated for Barbie?
Much like Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig missed out and got snubbed for Best Director due to it being a highly competitive category this year.
However, fans can take solace in knowing that she is in the Oscars 2024 nominations list alongside her husband Noah Baumbach via the Writing nomination list for Adapted Screenplay.
In entertainment elsewhere, Saoirse Ronan has revealed details about her scrapped Barbie cameo. Also, here is the digital release date for Night Swim.
