Oscar Snubs & Surprises….. SNUBSMARGOT ROBBIE – Last year it was Babylon, this year it’s Barbie. Seems the talented actress needs to stay away from roles that are in movies that start with a B. Clearly that’s the only explanation why the SAG Award nominee and I, Tonya Oscar nominee from 2017 was left out of the race today. SALTBURN – All those Golden Globes and BAFTA nominations meant nothing as the Emerald Fennell- directed dark comedy was truly burned by the Academy. LEONARDO DICAPRIO – The well-deserved Oscar love for Killers of the Flower Moon’s Lily Gladstone did not extend to the former Oscar winner who portrayed her deceitful and whelp husband. Already given a pass in the SAG Awards nominations, this snub of Leo is a bit of a crime unto itself. FANTASIA – The Color Purple actress was fantastic in the Blitz Bazawule-directed musical. Golden Globe and BAFTA voters thought so too with nominations for the Grammy winner. Strikingly, not so much with AMPAS voters. ANDREW SCOTT – Fleabag’s Hot Priest was not even lukewarm with Academy voters for his arresting All of Us Strangers performance. GRETA GERWIG – Barbie must be tickled pink with its Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay nominations. Yet, AMPAS voters, a question: Do you think the beloved and rule-breaking blockbuster directed itself? Asking for a friend. ORIGIN – Ava DuVernay’s acclaimed adaption of Isabel Wilkerson’s bestseller Caste has been running a guerrilla campaign for months with big names like Regina King and Angelina Jolie casting their lot with the film and star Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor. Sadly, the root was not able to bear Oscar fruit. GRETA LEE – The Past Lives star was given a pass, even as the film itself garnered Best Picture and Original Screenplay nominations. PEDRO ALMODÓVAR – The Spanish auteur’s 30-minute cowboy love story Strange Way of Life had the star power of Ethan Hawke and Pedro Pascal, but nada in the Live-Action Short category this morning. LENNY KRAVITZ – No one can take away the power of Domingo scoring a Best Actor nomination for Rustin, but despite being the tune on everyone’s list, Kravitz’s “Road to Freedom” proved a road to nowhere Oscar-wise. STILL: A MICHAEL J. FOX MOVIE – Davis Guggenheim’s documentary about the Back To the Future star’s life, career and fight with Parkinson’s disease lit up Sundance at this time last year and received seven Emmy nominations. Oddly, the film didn’t register with Academy voters. JULIANNE MOORE – When it came to Best Supporting Actress, it just wasn’t the year for the May December star. SURPRISESSTERLING K. BROWN – There are a lot of Emmys on the This Is Us actor’s shelf, and the American Fiction star has received Golden Globes and SAG Award noms as well. However, the Oscar recognition today for Brown’s tremendous turn in the Cord Jefferson-directed drama is fittingly the real deal. ANNETTE BENING – With her fifth Academy Award nomination, the Nyad star is fittingly in the Best Actress pool and poised to give it the last one, fast one. x.com/deadline/status/1749827509758173333?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

I’m shocked that Killers of the Flower Moon didn’t get a nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Some guy by the name of Greg Castanias posted this…. Can’t say I disagree.
”No Oscar nomination for Greta Gerwig
No Oscar nomination for Margo Robbie
Ryan Gosling gets an Oscar nomination
This is actually the whole plot of “Barbie”

I thought Barbie was a cute movie, loved the clothes, took me back to my childhood fantasies, but Best Movie nomination? I know there was a message that I did appreciate. Still with all those nominations the director and the actress deserve no less than Ryan Gosling.

Still with all those nominations the director and the actress deserve no less than Ryan Gosling. I thought it was a lot more than "cute." I did not expect to like it - I disliked Barbie as a girl and never played with them. I had no nostalgia for the franchise but I loved the movie. So did my son (15) who's a movie fan but knows nothing about Barbie. The world-building, the writing, the directing, the acting -- all of it IMO was great and smart. It's very different than the "typical" Best Picture nomination but I'm pretty damn sick of the kinds of movies continue to win the top awards. |

It didn't direct itself. It's worthy of Best Picture but not Best Director?
I can live with Margot Robbie - there's a lot of qualified women out there for that nomination.
And I'm not quiet about my adoration of Ryan Gosling's 1000 percent effort in that role - I think it's a good nomination.
But no best director? Nah - that's really problematic in my book.

Bette Midler….
”"This one goes out to Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie who crafted a film that was both a critical success and a cultural phenomenon, delving into feminist themes through the lens of Barbie and challenging patriarchal norms. This movie not only resonated deeply but also grossed a billion dollars. Yet, in a twist of irony, it was Ken who received the Oscar nomination.
Everyone go re-watch Barbie tonight."

The New York Post… “Ryan Gosling breaks silence on Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig ‘Barbie’ Oscar snubs: Their ‘scantily clad, crotchless dolls made history’“Ryan Gosling is showing his support for his “Barbie” co-star Margot Robbie and the film’s director Greta Gerwig after they were both snubbed in the Best Actress and Best Director Oscar categories respectively. I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films,” Gosling, who received an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actor, said in a statement obtained by The Post. “And I never thought I’d be saying this, but I’m also incredibly honored and proud that it’s for portraying a plastic doll named Ken,” he continued. “But there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film.” “The Notebook” star continued, “No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.” Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees.” Gosling signed off, “Having said that, I am so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to making this such a groundbreaking film.” Robbie and Gerwig have yet to publicly addressed their snubs.” x.com/nypost/status/1749931684189835361?s=61&t=j45uMgNk1i8O0YllKF58nw |

I actually really hopes that Ryan wins (he won't, RDJ seems to have it on lock this year) but if he does, I'm sure he'll have something to say. He honestly seemed astounded that "I am Ken" won the Critics Choice award last weekend over "What was I made for". He didn't even go up on stage and the announcer clearly said he would be accepting the award with the song writers.

To be fair, I dont think Margot Robbie is a particularly good actress, but Greta Gerwig deserved to be nominated.

How can a movie be nominated for Best Movie if it wasn't directed by a Best Director? It can't be a best movie if there isn't a best director. Not that both have to win, but both should be nominated.

The best picture category has 10 nominations and the best director category only has 5. As long as they keep doing it this way there will always be at least 5 movies nominated for best picture that won't be nominated for best director. |

It didn't until recently and this has been happening a long time. Best director nominations are chosen ONLY by directors. Best film nominations are made by the entire academy. There are a lot of instances were the director winner wasn't the same as the best picture winner. |

I thought Barbie was a fun movie phenomenon, but I don't think it was worthy of best picture in comparison to the others nominated. I do think America Ferrera deserved the best supporting actress nomination as I thought her monologue was the highlight of the movie for me. I liked Ryan Gosling, but I don't think his performance was that noteworthy, however, I think his post about the snub of Margo and Greta was a class act.

I guess we gotta blow $#it up to be taken seriously. To be taken seriously by the patriarchal academy you can’t actually point out the issues with the patriarchy. Most especially not in a well crafted poignant movie where the lead actress deftly walks a fine line between the classic blonde doll in a dolls world and a deeply empathetic human being with a story and a message. Actually had the Barbie movie been just a movie about a plastic blond doll with big boobs they might have a different outcome. It would be preferred if Barbie just knew ‘her place’ and stayed there instead of delivering a message they did not want to hear. Clearly the patriarchy has no desire to award the true message in the movie. |

I don't think Barbie should have been nominated at all. I thought it was a terrible movie. I know, I know, I'm in the minority but that is 2 hours of my life I will never get back.

Gosh, I know there was a lot of love for Barbie. And the one particular scene with America Ferrera in it was a powerful pro-woman and the struggles we face over and over, but other than that I do not understand the hype. I don't understand it getting nominated for Best Picture. I haven't had anyone actually articulate to me what the love is for that movie? Please help me understand what I am clearly not seeing...

They are now nominating movies that aren't really worthy of being nominated because they want people to watch these shows. Viewership is way down so they put in one movie that has a cult following so people will watch to see if it wins. I can't explain the hype because I hated the movie. |

I don't understand it getting nominated for Best Picture. I haven't had anyone actually articulate to me what the love is for that movie? Please help me understand what I am clearly not seeing... I think you either really liked it/it resonated with you, or you didn't. It's hard for me to explain what the movie means to me and I loved it (except for the end, i think the end was stupid/dumb), but I will try. These are all my .02: I played with Barbie quite a bit when I was little. we moved in the 5th grade, so I had all these boxes that were perfect proportion for a doll that size, so I made my own house for her out of cardboard, plus I had all these carpet and wall paper samples from my mom who was decorating her new house. The doll acted out stuff but mostly it was about creating her house, plus me styling her hair. By the 8th grade, I knew I needed to move on, but it was HARD. She was a comfort, she was part of my day. I think I was a freshman in HS by the time I managed to put her down for good. I grew up in the 80s, so I can't say the whole "Barbie is doctor! Barbie is an astronaut!" really spoke to me bc duh, of course she could be that. I think that might have resounded more with girls in the 60s and 70s who grew up where there wasn't much choice for women except to be a mom, and then in the 60s/70s it became more "what CAN'T a woman do?" and that is where Barbieland comes in. The whole thing was Barbie is "the man's role" - she was President, she was Supreme Court, she was... everything and anything. That is so backwards from reality, which is why when they got to "reality" Ken was amazed, he wasn't just Barbie's sidekick, he was KEN. Now, it flipped where in Barbieland, his sole purpose to exist was as a sidekick/mate for Barbie. When he went back to Barbieland and brainwashed the Barbies into this new way of living, to me, it was heartbreaking to see how quickly women could be forced back into those roles. IMO, Barbieland isn't right either. It shouldn't be one gender "ruling" over the other. It should be all humans working together to make it the best place it could be. And at the end, Barbie didn't want to be an idea or someone's ideal... but unfortunately, that's how she was introduced, but she's also become a platform to be inspiring. America's speech really resonated with me for just that reason. I cried the first time, and I get a lump in my throat every time I hear it. As a woman, it just really resonated with me. My son and husband didn't care for the movie. I wasn't really surprised, because I just do not think a man can truly understand what a woman goes through, but I thought my son may have understood the point more. My sister didn't care for the movie either. She did not play with Barbie, and when we did play, she wanted to watch me, and it just felt like a violation or invasion of privacy. I can't explain it, but Barbie was an extention of me, and I felt like this movie saw that. |

I just watched Barbie.
Best part was the fight between the Kens or between Sierra Six and Shang-Chi.
I got the message but the ending was kind of a let down.
