Margot Robbie has missed out on an Oscar nomination for her role as Barbie.
The time has come for the 2024 Oscar nominations and this year has seen some brutal snubs.
While Oppenheimer leads the 96th annual Academy Awards with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things (11) and Killers of the Flower Moon (10), there have been some notable absences in the top categories.
Despite landing a nomination for Best Picture, Margot Robbie has been left out of the Best Actress category for her role in Barbie, while Greta Gerwig was snubbed from the Best Director category. However, Gerwig was nominated in the Best Adapted Screenplay nomination, and Robbie was nominated in the Best Picture lineup category for her role as a producer in the film.
Ryan Gosling has received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor in Barbie.
Fans were shocked by the news with many taking to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts. One person wrote: “Greta Gerwig being snubbed at the Oscars despite Barbie being the only $1 billion movie solely directed by a woman feels very sus to me”, another wrote, “Barbie being robbed for her own movie while Ken secures the nomination is insane.”
A third person wrote, “Greta Gerwig: Made a critically acclaimed, culturally profound, feminist movie about Barbie and the patriarchy that made a billion dollars at the box office. Oscar nomination goes to … Ken.”
That wasn’t the only surprise snub in this year’s nominations, elsewhere Leonardo DiCaprio was also excluded from the Best Actor category in Killers of the Flower Moon despite his co-stars receiving nominations - Lily Gladstone had her first ever Academy nomination for Best Actress and Hollywood alum Robert De Niro was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. The film itself is up for Best Picture.
Much like Robbie and Gerwig’s snubs, fans were quick to take to X. One person said, “Leonardo DiCaprio getting snubbed again for the millionth time is actually insane.”
“Him and Margot Robbie deserved at least a nomination,” another said. “Leonardo DiCaprio gave one of the best performances of the year and was snubbed.”
DiCaprio has been nominated seven times since 1994, winning his first ever Oscar in 2016 for Best Actor for his role in The Revenant.
Other surprise snubs saw Emerald Fennell’s much talked about Saltburn being left out from the Best Picture category, as did Ben Affleck’s Air, Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, Paul King’s Wonka and Sean Durkin’s The Iron Claw.
Despite the snubs that have surprised fans, there were 10 actors who landed their first ever Academy nomination including Emily Blunt who landed a nod for Best Supporting Actress for Oppenheimer. America Ferrera was also placed in the category for Barbie, and Danielle Brooks for The Color Purple.
Brooks is the film’s sole nominee despite there being large Oscar hopes.
“I’m very humbled by it all, because I know, as we all know, you can’t do these things by yourself. That’s not how it works,” Brooks told AP by Zoom from New Zealand where she’s shooting a movie. “I thought it was huge shoes to fill just come in after Miss Oprah Winfrey. But now I feel like I’m doing this for the team Color Purple, you know?”
Cillian Murphy received his first ever Academy nomination for Best Actor in Oppenheimer, as did Jeffrey Wright for American Fiction and Colman Domingo for Rustin.
Other firsts included Sterling K. Brown nominated for Best Supporting Actor for American Fiction, Sandra Hüller for Best Actress for Anatomy of a Fall and Da’Vine Joy Randolph for Best Supporting Actress for The Holdovers.
The Oscars will take place on March 11 at 1pm (NZT) and will be hosted by Jimmy Kimmel.
