Fans are wondering if predictions say that Barbie will win in any of the categories it has been nominated for at the 2024 Oscars. Here is everything you need to know.
Could Barbie win at the Oscars 2024?
Barbie has a good chance of winning at least one award it has been nominated for at the 2024 Oscars.
Since Barbie is nominated in seven categories, it has a great chance of winning in at least one Oscar. There are four categories in which the movie has a very high chance of winning:
- Best Costume Design
- Best Production Design
- Best Original Song
- Best Adapted Screenplay
Barbie has strong odds of winning the Oscars for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design. This is due to the widespread acclaim that the sets and costumes have received. They have already won awards at various awards shows such as the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards and the Saturn Awards.
Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach also have good odds of winning Best Adapted Screenplay. The two have already been recognized for their screenwriting work on the film by many respected associations, such as the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards and the Alliance of Women Film Journalists.
However, Barbie’s highest odds of winning an Oscar are in the Best Original Song category. Here, both “I’m Just Ken” by Ryan Gosling and “What Was I Made For” by Billie Eilish are nominated. Eilish’s song has a greater chance as it won both Record of the Year and Song of the Year in the Grammys 2024. This gives a strong indication that it may take home the Oscar.
The three categories in which Barbie has the toughest odds of winning are:
- Best Picture
- Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling
- Best Supporting Actress for America Ferrera
Barbie could lose out on Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress as the film is stacked up against other much-lauded contenders.
For Best Picture, Barbie’s biggest contenders are Oppenheimer and The Holdovers, which have both also won a number of the most prestigious awards in the current season.
Ryan Gosling’s biggest competition for Best Supporting Oscar will be Robert Downey Jr. for Oppenheimer. Robert Downey Jr. has already won in this category at the Golden Globe Awards, the British Academy Film Awards, and many other well-known award shows. America Ferrera faces similarly stiff competition from The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who has also already won in her category at the Golden Globe Awards, the British Academy Film Awards, and many other award shows so far.
