A recent upset from the Academy Awards led to Greta Gerwig’s Barbie getting “snubbed,” according to fans, as Ken actor Ryan Gosling received a nomination while Margot Robbie, the film’s lead, and Gerwig did not.Now, Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh has shared her thoughts about the whole affair, expressing her disappointment, but stated that it is the result of a steeply competitive film industry and not a slight to the film’s quality. In an interview with Variety, the Everything Everywhere All at Once star shared her sentiments toward the film and stated that she feels sympathy for both Gerwig and Robbie for missing out on nominations due to fierce competition from other films. “You do think: ‘how do you get nominated for best picture but not best director?'”, Yeoh said. “But it happens, and I’m sorry it happened to them because it’s obviously one of the most successful and beloved movies. Look at the box office.”Thus, the lack of a nomination for best director or actress for Gerwig or Robbie, respectively, drew ire from many fans online who began calling it a massive “snub” since they feel the film deserves acknowledgment for its success. To make the outrage worse, Ryan Gosling, who played Barbie’s male counterpart, Ken, did receive a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role, which came as a surprise to many given the film’s feminist themes.
