Wanted for Margot’: Greta Gerwig reacts to ‘Barbie’ Oscars snub

Greta Gerwig has finally reacted to her Oscars snub. Both Gerwig and Barbie’s lead star, Margot Robbie, did not receive a nomination in Best Director and Best Actress categories.

Speaking to Time, Gerwig said, “Of course I wanted it for Margot. But I’m just happy we all get to be there together.”

Shen then said while she may not have received the nomination, her film did: “A friend’s mom said to me, ‘I can’t believe you didn’t get nominated. I said, ‘But I did. I got an Oscar nomination.’ She was like, ‘Oh, that’s wonderful for you!’ I was like, ‘I know!'”

Earlier, Margot Robbie had commented on the snub and told the Los Angeles Times, “As a producer and her actor, would I have loved to see Greta nominated for directing? Of course.

But she did become the first director to have their first three solo directorial efforts nominated for best picture, which is pretty historic. She cracked the code on this film, as only she could. It is such a singular vision, and Greta brought so much humanity, creativity, inspiration, magic and joy to Barbie. And it’s because of her we’ve all received such acclaim.”

Earlier, Ryan Gosling and Hillary Clinton had reacted to the snub and said that both Margot and Gerwig deserved the nomination.

Barbie was both a commercial and critical success. It is the highest-grossing movie helmed by a woman.
