Eight nominations in total

In addition, she also pointed out that, although she was not nominated, her film was, and she takes that as a victory: “A friend’s mother told me: ‘I can’t believe you weren’t nominated. I said, ‘But I did it. They nominated me for an Oscar.’ She told me: ‘Good for you! And I told him: ‘I know!

And, although Greta was not nominated for Best Director, it is important to note that her film “Barbie” received a total of eight nominations, including Best Picture.

Despite the media attention generated by her absence from the Best Director list, Gerwig remains optimistic and focused on her film career. She even revealed that she has two adaptations of CS Lewis’ works in the works for Netflix.

On the other hand, Greta is not the only person associated with “Barbie” who did not receive a nomination in the category she expected. Margot Robbie, also involved in the film as a producer, was not nominated for Best Actress.

However, the two artists express their joy at the nominations the film received in general.

Therefore, despite the expectations and speculation surrounding the Academy Awards, Gerwig remains positive and focused on her passion for cinema.

He recognizes that the most important thing is to continue making films and continue with his career, regardless of the recognitions and nominations.
