Margot Robbie commented on the lack of an Oscar nomination for her role in “Barbie”

People from all over the world who watched “Barbie” were incredibly disappointed when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominations for this year’s Oscars, and there were no nominations for Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig in the “leading actress” and “best director” categories.

Many people were disturbed by the lack of these nominations. Margot Robbie, however, has a different approach

Now Margot Robbie herself has spoken on this matter and, according to reports, she spoke about it during a panel at a special Screen Actors Guild show last Tuesday. She called the interest in the film “Barbie” and the stir it caused around the world a cultural phenomenon. She also said that she does not feel sad when she knows that the film with her participation did so much good.

Of course, I think Greta should be nominated as a director because what she did is something that can only happen once in a career, only once in a life. What she did is really like that. But this year has been amazing for all movies

– Robbie said. She later admitted that she was “extremely thrilled” that “Barbie” was nominated for an Oscar in eight categories. These are: “Best Picture”, “Best Supporting Actress” for America Ferrera, “Best Supporting Actor” for Ryan Gosling, “Best Adapted Screenplay” for Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, as well as “Best Costume Design” and “Best Production Design”. . In turn, two songs from the film are nominated in the “best song” category.

Everyone who received nominations is simply amazing, and this is a nod to Best Picture

– added the main actress in “Barbie”.

The film about the most popular doll in the world went down in history as the only film directed exclusively by a woman whose value exceeded one billion dollars. In total, “Barbie” grossed a total of $1.4 billion worldwide. During the discussion, Margot Robbie also reflected on Barbie’s cultural influence:

I suspect it’s something bigger than us. This is something much bigger than this film or our entire industry

– she admitted. – We decided to do something that would change culture, influence culture, simply have an impact – she continued. – And it happened, and even more than we ever dreamed. And this is truly the greatest reward that can come from all this, she concluded.

The actress discovered the cultural influence of “Barbie” during her stay in a Scottish bar!

Later in the conversation, she made everyone gathered at the Screen Actors Guild meeting laugh. She related an overheard conversation between a group of men who met for a stag party in a bar in Scotland:

There were people sitting at the table who refused to watch the ‘Barbie’ movie. One guy said, ‘Man, this is a cultural moment, you don’t want to be part of the culture.’ And the other guy kept saying, ‘I’ll never see it.’ However, by the end of the conversation, he already wanted to see it

– she said. – I’ve never been part of something like this. Not something like that. I’ve done film versions of comics that get a lot of reaction, but this was a completely different feeling. It’s still completely different. I can’t imagine that this movie had such an impact on culture. It’s great to be in the eye of the storm, she continued about the film’s impact.
