Despite ‘Barbie’s Best Picture Nom, Margot Robbie And Greta Gerwig Were Snubbed By The Oscars And People Are Not Happy

Despite Barbie landing a Best Picture nomination for this year’s Oscars, the Academy made the wild decision to snub both the film’s star, Margot Robbie, and its director Greta Gerwig. You better believe people have thoughts.

Barbie instantly became a pop culture juggernaut after premiering over the summer to record-breaking box office numbers. As the titular character, Robbie anchored the entire film. As not just the director, but also the writer, Gerwig infused Barbie with all of the heart and soul that made an instant classic, and again, a contender for Best Picture. No recognition for either woman, and people immediately took to social media to voice their thoughts.
