Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Greta Gerwig finally addresses Oscar snub
Caption: Barbie director Greta Gerwig has spoken out about missing out on a nomination for Best Director at this year's Oscars. During an interview with Time for its Women of the Year profile, the filmmaker pointed out that she and her partner Noah Baumbach were still nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay. ”A friend's mom said to me, 'I can't believe you didn't get nominated,'" Greta recalled. ”I said, 'But I did. I got an Oscar nomination.' She was like, 'Oh, that's wonderful for you!' I was like, 'I know!’”. Margot Robbie, who plays Barbie in the box office hit, also missed out on a nomination for Best Leading Actress, sparking outcry online. She still received a nomination for Best Picture as one of the producers of the film. ”Of course I wanted it for Margot (Robbie)," Greta said. "But I'm just happy we all get to be there together.” Margot recently shared a similar view. "There's no way to feel sad when you know you're this blessed," she said during a SAG-AFTRA panel discussion last month. Greta became the first female director to have a film that earned $1 billion (£79 million) at the global box office. Barbie was the highest-grossing movie of 2023. The film is nominated for eight Oscars in total, including Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling and Best Supporting Actress for America Ferrera.
