Fans are expressing their outrage at the Academy Awards committee for snubbing Margot Robbie in the Best Actress category for her role in the film "Barbie." Despite the movie receiving eight Oscar nominations, Robbie seemed to be deliberately ignored by the committee. However, this is not the first time she has been snubbed.
According to netizens, Robbie has been facing ignorance in the entertainment industry for quite some time. People pointed out how she was previously overlooked for her outstanding performance in the film "Babylon" in 2022. Despite deserving a Best Actress nomination, she was ignored by the Oscar committee back then as well.
"Barbie," which also stars Greta Gerwig as the director, became a global phenomenon and earned over a billion dollars at the box office when it was released in 2023. The film received rave reviews and bagged eight Oscar nominations. Surprisingly, both Robbie and Gerwig were ignored by the Academy Awards, despite their exceptional work on the film.
Fans of Robbie expressed their unanimous support and frustration with the Academy Awards committee for denying her the recognition she deserved. During a SAG-AFTRA discussion, Robbie spoke out about her Oscar snub, saying, "There's no way to feel sad when you know you're this blessed.
.. Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as a director. What she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing. But it's been an incredible year for all the films."
Although Robbie may not be saddened by the snub, her fans are not as forgiving. They expressed their outrage on social media, highlighting how she was also overlooked for "Babylon." Fans believe that Robbie's performance in that film was one of her best, and they demand justice for repeatedly denying her a nomination.
Many fans and critics agree that Robbie's performances in both "Barbie" and "Babylon" were exceptional and worthy of Oscar nominations.
They argue that Hollywood is purposefully undermining her potential and turning her into an underrated star. Overall, Robbie's fans are outraged by the repeated ignorance she faces from the Oscars.
