Ryan Gosling Criticizes Margot Robbie, Greta Gerwig Oscars Snubs

Other Directors were more deserving and guess what Ryan Gosling was the only good actor in the movie. That's a win for the Patriarchy.

But the movie still received 8 nominations.

Margot Robbie's performance is hardly Oscar worthy.

Only Greta Gerwig was not nominated for best director is a surprise, since Barbie is nominated for best picture.

Oppenheimer being nominated for best picture is another surprise. The movie does not fit the oscar diversity criteria, maybe they have something like minority executives and minority intern programs.

So Nolan actually has a shot to win best director, it is probably his only shot.

How is Barbie not original screenplay, but nominated for "Adapted screenplay", adopted from what?

But I am glad Napoleon did not get any major nomination, it is just not a good movie.

I predicted both snubs. There were other directors and lead actresses that were more deserving.

It should consider itself lucky. Gidzilla Minus One deserved to be nominated in best picture and director, as well as lead actor. J. A. Bayona deserved a nomination for directing Society of the Snow. Agustin Pardella, Matias Recalt, and Enzo Vogorinic all deserved nominations for actor. Micahel Giacchino deserved a nomination for best score for Society of the Snow, and Naoki Sato deserved one for Godzilla Minus One. Barbie got 8 nominations while other films were snubbed.

What if Best Picture came down to "Barbie" or Godzilla MINUS ONE" and Godzilla won?? How bad on a scale of 1-10 is there an uproar over it?? Accusations of sexism or some nonsense like that??

I hate when people say someone was snubbed but then they dont say who shouldn't have been nominated, which is the other side of the coin. Which best actress nominee would Gosling kick off?

LOL maybe the academy just didn’t feel that Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were deserving. I mean there are plenty of years where I didn’t agree with the winners or nominees and I didn’t throw a temper tantrum and started blaming it on “isms” . People need to chill out and get over themselves.

Well, it's not the kind of movie that particularly appeals to the Academy, is it -- and it's still got 8 nominations from folk who tend to favour adult-oriented dramas. Gerwig and Robbie have both been nominated for previous projects that were more Oscar-friendly. They probably know how this stuff works.

I don't think it should come as any great surprise to Gosling -- or anyone else -- that the year's biggest blockbuster has been acknowledged by the Academy, but isn't going to dominate the proceedings. Happens most years.

Besides, it made a gazillion dollars. If award ceremonies serve any purpose at all, it's in highlighting quality work that mainstream audiences may have previously overlooked. Gerwig and Robbie have both benefited from this tendency among the voters in the past and will probably both benefit from it in the future.

I don't think they have much to complain about here.
