Despite the heated discourse surrounding Barbie Being snubbed in certain categories at this year’s Academy Awards, actress and executive producer Margot Robbie said she’s not upset about not receiving the Best Actress nod like people expected.
Robbie spoke about the film’s cultural impact and the eight nominations it received during a recent appearance at a screening in Los Angeles. By Deadlinesaid the actress: “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re so blessed.”
Although Robbie did not receive a Best Actress nomination, she was nominated as an executive producer in the Best Picture category. Barbie Director Greta Gerwig was also snubbed in the Best Director category, a fact Robbie lamented during her talk.
“Obviously I think Greta should be nominated as director, because what she did is something unique in her career, something unique in her life, what she achieved, it really is,” Robbie said. “But it’s been an incredible year for all the movies.”
She later added that she is “beyond elated that we have eight Academy Award nominations, it’s so wild.”
The actress went on to praise the film’s cultural impact, which went far beyond the $1.4 billion it grossed at the box office in 2023.
“We set out to do something that would change the culture, affect the culture, just make some kind of impact,” Robbie said. —And he has already done it,and something, much more than we ever dreamed. And that is truly the greatest reward that could come from all of this.”
The actress added that seeing everyone’s reactions to the film is “the greatest reward of this entire experience.” According to her, the film’s reception is unlike anything she has seen before in her career.
“I have never been part of something like this. Not that way. “I’ve done comic book stuff and that gets a big reaction, but this felt very different,” she said. “It still feels very different. And I can’t think of a time when a movie has had this effect on culture. And it is surprising to be in the eye of the storm.”
