Oscars 2024: Ryan Gosling is disappointed over Barbie’s Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig snub
The nominations for the upcoming Academy Awards were announced last evening. Among the snubs and surprises was the absence of Barbie’s Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie from the nominees list. Meanwhile, Ryan Gosling received a nod in the Best Supporting Actor category. 

Ryan Gosling who won praise for his role as Ken is now calling out the Academy for director Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie's snub. In a statement, he shared that he is honoured to be nominated. He said, “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 history-making, globally celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.”
