If it\u2019s still unfathomable to you that the two women who made a record-breaking, history-making, billion-dollar film were not nominated for an Academy Award, well, it is to us too. Barbie<\/a><\/em> actress Margot Robbie<\/a> and Barbie <\/em>director Greta Gerwig were shockingly left out of their respective nomination categories<\/a> at this year\u2019s Oscars\u2014but it hasn\u2019t stopped the 33-year-old Australian star from shutting down the red carpet for the umpteenth time.<\/p>\n

Robbie arrived at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood in a black, floor-length, strapless, sequinned gown from Versace’s Fall\/Winter 2024 runwa<\/a>y on February 23. Far removed from the pink closet she wardrobed across the Barbie<\/em> tour<\/a> last year and this awards season, Robbie was beaming as she smiled and waved for the plethora of fans screaming her name. The most talked about film of the year, Robbie’s performance as Barbie and the passion in which she delivered it helped galvanise women across the globe, all rallying against the most impossible standards they are asked to live up to.<\/p>\n

While the film is recognised for eight nominations including Best Picture, the decision to leave the masterminds behind it out of the Best Actress and Best Director category was one met with furore. Co-star Ryan Gosling<\/a>, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actor, released a statement on the obvious snubs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film,\u201d he began.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius,\u201d he added. \u201cTo say that I\u2019m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognised along with the other very deserving nominees.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barbie <\/em>will go up against Oppenheimer, Killers Of The Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, American Fiction, The Holdovers, Poor Things, Anatomy Of A Fall<\/em> and The Zone Of Interest\u00a0<\/em>in the Best Picture category.<\/p>\n
