Barbie's absence from the Best Actress nomination list for the 96th Academy Awards has left many disappointed, but Margot Robbie, who played the iconic character, is handling the snub with grace. Despite not receiving recognition from the Oscars, Robbie remains confident in her worth as an actress, stating that her value is not determined by an award.

Robbie, known for her outstanding performances in films like Suicide Squad and I, Tonya, has always taken on challenging roles. Her portrayal of Barbie in the 2023 hit film earned her a hefty reward, with an estimated $50 million salary. Although her performance garnered critical acclaim, it failed to secure an Oscar nomination.

However, Robbie remains unfazed by the oversight. During a panel discussion, she expressed gratitude for her blessings and highlighted the success of the film, which received eight nominations. She also praised director Greta Gerwig's exceptional work, saying that her contribution to the film was remarkable.

Barbie not only achieved financial success, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2023 with $1.44 billion in box office revenue, but it also made a significant impact on culture. Robbie believes that the film's popularity goes beyond the entertainment industry and has become a phenomenon in society.

Despite the disappointment surrounding the Oscar nominations, Robbie is thrilled about the film's eight nods. Alongside Best Picture, the nominations include Best Original Song and acting categories for Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera. Robbie expressed her excitement for her co-stars and emphasized the film's goal of making a cultural impact.

The controversy surrounding Robbie and Gerwig's exclusion from the nominations prompted Ferrera to speak out, praising Robbie's incredible talent and describing her as a master of her craft.

Last summer, Barbie played a role in the revival of the movie theater industry, thanks in part to the viral trend known as 'Barbenheimer,' where viewers were challenged to watch Barbie and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer in a single weekend. Both films broke records and had successful theatrical debuts.

For those who missed the opportunity to watch Barbie in theaters, the film is now available for streaming on Max.
