When the discourse erupted on social media, it was eventually pointed out that the outrage was actually the “epitome of white feminism,” as people highlighted the fact that the response to Margot not being nominated this year was overshadowing the success of the women who were… including her co-star América Ferrera.

Robert said: “In my opinion, Margot Robbie is not getting enough credit. America has an amazing speech and, by the way, she nails it. I look at it and say, ‘Wow, that was really hard.’ It’s like a one-act play. The whole movie depends on it.’”
“But it’s the cuts where Robbie listens so actively that I realize Greta really has something here,” he added.
