Margot Robbie is not letting the Oscars snubbing her for best actress break her spirit when it comes to “Barbie,” which still pulled off an impressive eight Academy Award nominations this year.
Robbie is a nominee in 2024 for best picture as she produced the blockbuster comedy. She recently joined her “Barbie” co-stars for a SAG-AFTRA discussion where she was asked about the best actress Oscar snub and the ensuing outrage.
“There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed,” Robbie said about the snub, while adding that it was Greta Gerwig’s lack of inclusion in the best director race that was a bit more upsetting.
“Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as a director,” she stated. “What she did is 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.”
Regardless, Robbie said she is “beyond ecstatic” with the film’s eight Oscar nominations, which include best picture, adapted screenplay, supporting actor for Ryan Gosling, supporting actress for America Ferrera, costume design, production design and two noms for original song.
