Margot Robbie Reacts to Oscars Snub, Celebrates ‘Barbie’ Film’s Eight Nominations
Margot Robbie, the talented actress and producer, is not letting the recent Oscars snub for best actress dampen her spirits. Despite not receiving a nomination herself, Robbie is celebrating the success of her film “Barbie,” which received an impressive eight Academy Award nominations this year. The film has been recognized in categories such as best picture, adapted screenplay, supporting actor, supporting actress, costume design, production design, and two nominations for original song.
During a recent SAG-AFTRA discussion with her “Barbie” co-stars, Robbie was asked about her thoughts on the best actress Oscar snub and the ensuing outrage. She responded by saying, “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed.” However, she did express her disappointment over Greta Gerwig’s lack of inclusion in the best director race.
Robbie believes that Gerwig’s work on “Barbie” was truly exceptional and deserving of recognition. She described it as a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime achievement. Despite the snub, Robbie remains positive and is “beyond ecstatic” about the film’s eight Oscar nominations. She expressed her joy at seeing everyone involved in the film being acknowledged for their hard work.
“We set out to do something that would shift culture, affect culture, just make some sort of impact. And it’s already done that and some, way more than we ever dreamed it would. And that is truly the biggest reward that could come out of all of this,” Robbie said.
The reactions from people who have seen the movie have been incredibly rewarding for Robbie. She mentioned how the film has had a significant effect on culture and how it feels different from anything she has been a part of before. Robbie has previously been involved in comic book films that garnered attention, but she believes that “Barbie” has had a unique impact.
The snubs of both Robbie and Gerwig at the Oscars have sparked controversy and disappointment. Ryan Gosling, who received a supporting actor nomination for his role in “Barbie,” expressed his disappointment with the Academy’s decision. He emphasized that the film would not have been possible without the talent, grit, and genius of Robbie and Gerwig.
America Ferrera, who received a supporting actress nomination for her role in “Barbie,” praised Robbie’s acting skills and described her as a master in front of the screen. Ferrera acknowledged that Robbie makes everything look easy, but her work is truly remarkable.
Despite the Oscars snub, Robbie has been nominated for best actress at the upcoming SAG Awards. The entire cast of “Barbie” is also up for the evening’s top prize of outstanding ensemble in a motion picture. This recognition from the SAG Awards is a testament to the incredible performances and collaboration of everyone involved in the film.
In conclusion, Margot Robbie remains positive and grateful despite the Oscars snub. She celebrates the success of “Barbie” and the impact it has had on culture. Robbie’s talent as an actress and producer shines through, and her dedication to creating meaningful and impactful films is evident. While the Oscars may have overlooked her this year, Robbie’s work continues to be recognized and appreciated by her peers in the industry.
