BLOW FOR BARBIE: Sad day for Margot Robbie after cruel Oscars snub

Margot Robbie missed out on a nomination for best actress but in a cruel twist two of her co-stars are up for an Academy Award.
Margot Robbie has missed out on an Oscars nomination but her co-star, Ryan Gosling, is up for an award.

Barbie scooped eight nominations but female director Greta Gerwig also missed out on a nod.

Both snubs are hardly in line with the movie’s feminist messaging, although America Ferrera, who plays Mattel worker Gloria, is up for best supporting actress.

Fans were quick to slam the Academy’s decision on social media.

“Wait Ryan Gosling got nominated for his role as Ken, but Margot Robbie didn’t get nominated for Barbie?! And Greta got snubbed for Best Director?!?!Way to justify the literal plot of the movie,” one said.

Another wrote: “Ryan Gosling, while deserving, got an Oscar nomination for Barbie while Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie didn’t? Completely proving the point of the movie.”

A full list of the Academy Award nominees were revealed in Los Angeles overnight ahead of the ceremony on Monday, March 11 (AEDT).

Last year, it may have been all about the double-header box office phenomenon “Barbenheimer”, but after a massively successful run so far during awards season, Oppenheimer has broken from the pack, and with 13 nominations, is clearly the one to beat.

It was followed by Poor Things, a female-focused take on the Frankenstein myth, on 11, and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon on 10, in the race for Hollywood’s most prestigious awards.

Here’s how they all fared across the Oscars categories:

How to watch the ceremony

The 2024 Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 10 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, which means it will air on Monday in Australia.

This year’s ceremony is being hosted by late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, marking his fourth time at the helm.

“I always dreamt of hosting the Oscars exactly four times,” the comedian said when the announcement was made.

Kimmel’s return puts him on par with previous Oscars hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Jack Lemmon, while the only stars to have hosted more times are Johnny Carson (5), Billy Crystal (9) and Bob Hope (11).

The Oscars will be broadcast live AEDT on Channel 7 and 7plus on Monday, 11 March, with an encore screening that night after Australian Idol.
