The 2024 Oscar nominations are here – and fans think a few people are missing. Namely, Barbie director Greta Gerwig is absent from the Best Director nominations.
Gerwig made history this summer as the first female director to ever earn $1 billion at the box office, with Barbie becoming the 14th highest-grossing film of all time. Gerwig received a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay and Barbie is up for Best Picture. Still, fans believe Gerwig deserved a Best Director nomination, stating that she surpassed the expectations of what a Barbie movie could be and created something culturally important.
