Barbie actor Ryan Gosling feels 'disappointed' over Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig's Oscar nomination snubs
Actor Ryan Gosling has expressed disappointment after Barbie's director Greta Gerwig and lead actress Margot Robbie were omitted from the individual respective categories.
Gosling was nominated for the best supporting actor category for his portrayal of Mattel’s Ken doll in Barbie.
Greta and Margot warned nominations in different categories.
While Greta was nominated alongside her husband Noah Baumbach for best-adapted screenplay, the lead actress who played the titular role earned a nomination as a producer.
With $1.44bn (£1.14bn) worldwide collections, Barbie was the highest-grossing film of 2023.
The movie got eight nominations overall which included best picture.
The movie was released on the same day as 'Oppenheimer' and is leading the race with 13 nominations.
In a statement issued by Ryan as quoted by CNN: "I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films. And I never thought l’d being saying this, but I’m also incredibly honored and proud that it’s for portraying a plastic doll named Ken."
"To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement," he said.
