Box office smash Barbie has received eight Oscar nominations – but its star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig were snubbed in some major categories. This is also the first year women have directed three best picture nominees. Gerwig missed out on being recognised as best director, but a nomination for Anatomy of a Fall’s Justine Triet meant the line-up was partially male.
There were nods for Barbie’s star and director elsewhere – Robbie was recognised as a producer in the best picture line-up, while Gerwig was nominated for best-adapted screenplay. While Robbie missed out on a Best Actress nod, her co-star America Ferrera scored a surprise Supporting Actress nomination.
Fellow Barbie star Ryan Gosling was nominated for the best supporting actor, while a track he performs in the film I’m Just Ken was nominated for best original song. It will face competition from another song from the same movie – What Was I Made For? by Billie Eilish. Barbie’s other nominations are for production design and costume design.
