Margot Robbie Opens Up About Oscar Snubbing Barbie Director Greta Gerwig's Nomination

Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were overlooked by Oscar juries in this year's nominations, and we can see extreme reactions to it on the internet. However, the reaction from Barbie herself isn't that aggressive. Margot feels that it's not a big deal, but Greta should have been nominated.

Speaking to Variety, Margot Robbie said, "There's no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed. Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as a director. What she did was a once-in-a-career, once-in-a lifetime thing. What she pulled off, it really is. But it’s been an incredible year for all the films."

She continued, "Everyone getting the nods that they’ve had is just incredible, and the best picture nod. We set out to do something that would shift culture, affect culture, or just make some sort of impact. And it's already done that and more—way more than we ever dreamed it would. And that is truly the biggest reward that could come out of all of this. People's reactions to the movie have been the biggest reward of this entire experience. Whether it’s seeing what people are writing online or even just seeing how much pink I can see in this room right now, I’ve never been a part of something like this. Not like this. I’ve done comic book stuff, and that gets a big reaction, but this felt very different. It still feels very different. And I can’t think of a time when a movie had this effect on culture. And it’s amazing to be in the eye of the storm."
