The sadness of “Barbie”?
Greta Gerwig finally broke her silence about her 2024 Oscar snub for Best Director.
“Of course I wanted it for Margot (Robbie),” Gerwig, 40, said. Time for her Woman of the Year profile.
“But I’m happy we can all be there together.”
Gerwig’s “Barbie” became the first director to have her film reach $1 billion at the global box office in August.
“Barbie” is nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture. Robbie, 33, was also left out of the nomination category for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
“A friend’s mom told me, ‘I can’t believe you weren’t nominated,’” Gerwig continued. “I said, ‘But I did it.’ I got an Oscar nomination. She said, ‘Oh, that’s wonderful for you!’ I was like, ‘I know!’”
Robbie echoed a similar sentiment last month during a SAG-AFTRA panel discussion.
“There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re so blessed,” Robbie said.
“Obviously I think Greta should be nominated as director. What she did is something unique in her career and unique in her life. What she achieved, it really is. But it has been an incredible year for all the films.”
“For them all to get the recognition they’ve had is just incredible, and the best picture recognition.” Robbie explained during the SAG-AFTRA discussion, later adding, “We set out to do something that would change the culture, affect the culture, just have some kind of impact. And it has already done it and, in part, much more than we ever dreamed. And that is truly the greatest reward that could come from all of this.”
The “Wolf of Wall Street” alum continued: “People’s reactions to the movie have been the greatest reward of this entire experience. Whether it’s seeing what people are writing online, or even just seeing how much pink I can see in this room right now… I’ve never been a part of something like this. Not that way.”
“I’ve done comic book stuff and that gets a big reaction, but this felt very different. It still feels very different. And I can’t think of a time when a movie has had this effect on culture. And it is incredible to be in the eye of the storm,” he concluded.
“And I never thought I’d say this, but I’m also incredibly honored and proud that it’s for playing a plastic doll named Ken,” Gosling, 43, said in his first statement, which he later claimed was “heavily edited.” “. .”
“But there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this historic and globally celebrated film.”
For her part, Ferrera, 39, added: “I am delighted to celebrate my phenomenal Barbie family and all of their achievements. Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie made history and raised the bar with ‘Barbie’. The cultural and industrial impact they have made will be felt for generations and I am very grateful to them for asking me to be a part of it.”
