Since its release in 2023, Margot Robbie's Barbie film has been the talk of the town. Surprising everyone, the movie became the highest-grossing film of that year and has also been recognized at several prestigious awards events. This historic victory for female-led films continues to bring accolades for the makers of the film.

In Hollywood, female-led blockbusters were rarely given the green light, making it a difficult job for Robbie to pitch a project like Barbie. Actress Sharon Stone made efforts to get a Barbie film made back in the 90s, but unfortunately, it ended in disappointment.

Both Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig faced challenges in convincing Warner Bros to back the Barbie film.

A feature film based on a doll with no prior success on the big screen was a tough sell. However, they managed to convince the studio, and the rest is history.

Stone shared her own experience of trying to pitch a Barbie film in the 90s and being mocked by the studio. She praised the makers of the current Barbie film for their courage and endurance in bringing their vision to life.

Not only has the film been loved by audiences, but it has also been successful in awards season, winning six awards at the recent Critics Choice Awards.

It is expected to receive more nominations at the upcoming Oscars.

Ryan Gosling's performance as Ken in the Barbie film received unanimous love from audiences. He has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor at many award events. However, Gosling has chosen not to let his kids watch the film just yet. He mentioned that he is unsure at what age it would be appropriate for them to see him in that role but shared that they have seen some parts of the film, including one of the big musical numbers.

Gosling's viral hit song "I'm Just Ken" has already won Best Song at the Critics Choice Awards and has a good chance of winning at the Oscars as well.
