Gosling was surprised if only because the film is really about women, despite that no woman was nominated, only a man, him. He also made a statement about this:
I feel extremely honored to have been nominated for the award alongside so many excellent colleagues. I never thought I’d say this, but it was also a huge honor to play Ken, a Barbie doll. But there is no Ken without Barbie, so there is no Barbie movie without Margot Robbie and Greta Gerdwig. The two are responsible for this world-famous historical film.
– he began, then emphasized that without them, without their talent and genius, no one would have noticed him.
To say that I am disappointed that they were not nominated in any category is an understatement. Even though they played some dolls, they made us all laugh, broke our hearts, knocked on the door of our culture, and made history. Yes, their work should be recognized, they deserve the nomination.
– stood by them completely.
They agree a lot with the actor. One by one they are extremely disappointed by what happened. They added: Margot Robbie, the main character, Barbie, deserves much more than this, as does the director Greta – writes Mirror.
