Barbie star Margot Robbie cherishes how “blessed” she is despite missing out on Best Actress consideration at the 96th Academy Awards, though she believes helmer Greta Gerwig should have been nominated.Speaking at a Screen Actors Guild screening on Jan. 30, Robbie addressed the outrage from fans and critics surrounding her snub from the Best Actress category at the upcoming Oscars for her critically acclaimed leading performance in Barbie. While Robbie appreciates the support from everyone who believes she got a raw deal, Robbie chose to take the high road following the high-profile omission. “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed,” she said. Robbie also expressed excitement over Barbie receiving eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor (Ryan Gosling) and Best Supporting Actress (America Ferrera). Robbie said she is “beyond ecstatic that we’ve got eight Academy Award nominations, it’s so wild.”Strong reactions about the Barbie snubs have been prevalent since the Oscar nominations were announced earlier this month. Gosling and Ferrera slammed the decision to exclude Robbie and Gerwig from the Best Actress and Best Director categories, as well as co-star Simu Liu. Decorated author, Stephen King, also weighed in, believing Gerwig’s absence in particular proved a disconnect between the Academy and the preferences of moviegoers. Even voters within the Academy were unhappy, with one believing the snubs were “the ultimate in patriarchy.”
