Ryan Gosling will not bow to pressure and lose his nomination for Best Supporting Actor at this year’s Oscars despite calls from fans around the world, a source has claimed.
The 43-year-old actor has been nominated for the 94th Academy Awards in the acclaimed category for his role as Ken in the blockbuster film Barbie; However, his co-star Margot Robbie, 33, and director Greta Gerwig, 40, were both snubbed in terms of recognition.
On Tuesday, Ryan expressed her fury that the Academy had overlooked her female colleagues in a statement, but stopped short of giving up her nomination in protest.
And according to a source close to the Hollywood star, he has no plans to do so.
Ryan Gosling has no plans to lose his Oscar nomination even though the Academy Awards did not nominate Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie for their roles in Barbie.
On Tuesday, Ryan criticized the Academy’s decision and said the film wouldn’t have happened without Margot, 33, and Greta, 40 (seen in January).
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, the source said: ‘Ryan stands by his statement.
“He understands that people are upset because he’s upset, but he’s not going to be swayed by what anyone says online.”
They continued: ‘Ryan is honored to have been nominated and for the film to have been nominated.
“Should he win or if he performs I’m Just Ken, he will honor Margot and Greta in one way or another.”
According to the source, Ryan is doing what is right for his heart and has the support of his cast and director.
‘He’s not looking to turn this into something more than what it has become. “He talked about it and people should take what he said seriously because he meant every word,” the source said.
Ryan released a statement addressing Greta and Margot’s snubs shortly after the Oscar nominations were announced Tuesday.
He began his statement by expressing his gratitude for his nomination: “I am extremely honored to be nominated by my peers alongside such notable artists in a year of so many great films.”
Ryan starred alongside Margot in the box office hit, which premiered in July.
A source told DailyMail.com: “Should he win or if he performs I’m Just Ken, it will honor Margot and Greta in one way or another.”
“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.”
The actor then shared his disappointment that Margot and Greta were not nominated, before praising them for their work on the film.
“Against all odds, with nothing more than a pair of soulless, scantily clad, and fortunately crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, broke our hearts, propelled culture, and made history,” he added.
Finally, she congratulated her co-star América Ferrera, who received the award for Best Supporting Actress.
“That said, I’m so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to make this such a groundbreaking film,” Ryan said.
Barbie premiered in July and grossed a record $1.45 billion at the global box office and $636 million domestically.
The blockbuster received a total of eight Oscar nominations, although Greta did not get a nomination for best director this year, and Margot, who played the title character, was also not nominated for best leading actress.
Fans have been calling for Ryan to take a stand and give up his Oscar nomination in solidarity.
Although Margot is not nominated for best leading actress, the film itself is nominated for best picture, which means that she has, in fact, been nominated as a producer.
Greta and her husband, Noah Baumbach, are also jointly nominated this year for writing the screenplay adapted from Barbie.
A separate source, an Academy voter, shed some light on why Barbie’s leading lady Margot and the film’s director Greta were snubbed, telling DailyMail.com: “How many films, actors and directors have been snubbed over the years? It happens all the time and will continue to happen. It’s an endless cycle.
“The reason for all this is that it’s a mix of everything, some voters assumed they were going to be nominated so they voted elsewhere, some voters don’t want to see a movie like Barbie get nominated at all when there are movies like Oppenheimer in the running. .
‘It would never occur to other voters to think that when people look back in history, films like The Godfather, Schindler’s List and Gone with the Wind would share the same accolades and stage as Barbie.
Ryan’s Barbie co-star America Ferrera received the award for Best Supporting Actress.
She said: “It’s been a long journey for Barbie; I mean, longer even for Greta, Margot and Noah, it’s been years and years and years; everyone is so excited to be able to celebrate and end this journey at the biggest party in the world. anus”. ‘ (pictured with Robbie and Gerwig)
“I’m not exactly thinking about 2024, but these are the voters who vote for all the movies.”
However, the source added that because the Oscar nominations had caused such a “fuss,” this could benefit Barbie.
“The likelihood of Greta winning Best Adapted Screenplay should be considered almost certain, as Academy voters would now like to make a statement,” they added.
“If the hype continues, voters will be swayed and Barbie’s chance of winning the title they are nominated for has a much better chance.”
DailyMail.com has contacted representatives for Ryan and the Academy for comment.
Margot has previously been nominated for two Oscars: best leading actress for her 2017 film I, Tonya, a biopic of Tonya Harding, and best supporting actress for the 2020 film Bombshell, which dramatized the story of the sex scandals of FoxNews.
Meanwhile, Greta was previously nominated for an Oscar for best director for her 2017 film Lady Bird, which marked her first solo time directing a feature film.
She was also nominated for the screenplay for that film, as well as the screenplay for her next feature, the 2019 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel Little Women.
