Former First Lady Hillary Clinton took to Instagram to show support for Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig after they were overlooked in the 2024 Oscar nominations. Clinton wrote, "Greta & Margot, while it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold, your millions of fans love you." She ended her post with the hashtag #HillaryBarbie, making a reference to the song "I'm Just Ken" from the film. The post garnered a mix of comments, with some praising Clinton's words and others criticizing her for not focusing on more important matters.

Robbie, 33, and Gerwig, 40, both failed to secure nominations for Best Actress and Best Director in this year's Academy Awards. Despite this disappointing outcome, their film received eight nominations, including Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and Best Picture. The cast of the film expressed their disappointment at the snub, with America Ferrera praising Gerwig's directing and Robbie's acting skills. Ryan Gosling also issued a statement condemning the Academy, emphasizing the importance of Gerwig and Robbie's contributions to the film.

Neither Robbie nor Gerwig has commented on their snub.

The Oscars, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will take place on March 10th and will be broadcast live on ABC.
