"Barbie" Movie fans Outraged

The 2024 Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday, but many people were surprised to see that Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie did not receive nominations for Best Director and Best Actress, respectively. This caused outrage among some fans, as Gerwig's film "Barbie" had grossed nearly $1.5 billion globally, making it the highest-grossing film of 2023 and Gerwig herself the highest-grossing female director of all time. Despite being a film about famous dolls, Gerwig managed to turn it into an entertaining and meaningful story. The snubs were seen as evidence that Hollywood is still struggling with issues of representation and diversity, and many felt that the situation could have been a plotline from the "Barbie" movie itself.
