Former US Secretary and First Lady Hillary Clinton responded to the Academy Awards snubbing the Barbie movie, sparking conversations regarding diversity and the lack of support for Lily Gladstone.
Just as the 96th Academy Awards announced its nominations on Tuesday (January 23), the highest-grossing film of 2023, Barbie was infamously snubbed.
Although the hit movie did end up getting eight nods, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling, and Best Supporting Actress for America Ferrera, some argued that Barbie suffered the biggest snubs of this year’s nominations, as its director Greta Gerwig was not nominated for Best Director and its protagonist, Margot Robbie, was not nominated for Best Actress.
