Margot Robbie not sad about Barbie Oscars snub

Margot Robbie is "not sad" about her lack of Oscar nomination for 'Barbie'.

The 33-year-old actress starred as the iconic Mattel doll alongside Ryan Gosling as her boyfriend Ken in Greta Gerwig's summer blockbuster and whilst her co-star received a nod for Best Supporting Actor and the movie is up for Best Picture at the upcoming Academy Awards, both she and the film's director missed out on a nomination.

But Margot admitted that she feels so "blessed" in the first place, although she believes that moviemaker Greta, 40, should have been nominated.

Speaking as part of a panel at a SAG screening of 'Barbie', she said: "There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed. Obviously I think Greta should be nominated as a director, because what she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing, what she pulled off, it really is. But it’s been an incredible year for all the films."

Upon its release in July 2023, 'Barbie' pulled in almost $1.5 billion at the box office whilst its competitor 'Oppenheimer' - which leads the way with a total of 13 nominations - made just over $950 million.

Margot speculated that the reaction 'Barbie' has simply become "bigger" than the industry itself.

She said: "I just suspect it’s bigger than us. It’s bigger than this movie, it’s bigger than our industry."
