It is anticipated that "Barbie" will be one of the major attractions at this year's Oscars ceremony, but there is concern that it may be overlooked in a particular category pertaining to its screenplay, and Judd Apatow believes this to be a mistake. As the 96th edition of the Academy Awards approaches, the potential nominations are taking shape behind the scenes, and in terms of the screenplay, Margot Robbie and her team are somewhat worried about the category they have been placed in.

Last week, Variety reported that "Barbie" was being relegated to the Best Adapted Screenplay category instead of Best Original Screenplay because the characters already "existed".

For many cinephiles, this decision was seen as a misstep, considering that the premise of "Barbie" is actually quite original, in the sense that it is not a rehash of an existing "Barbie" story. Judd is among those who are outraged on behalf of the writers who conceived of the script. He writes, "It's insulting to the writers to say they were working off of existing material. There was no existing material or story." Frankly, many people agree.

The reason why people are upset that "Barbie" is being considered Adapted instead of Original, despite campaigning for the latter, is because the competition is fiercer in the Adapted category, with nominees such as "Oppenheimer" and "Killers of the Flower Moon.

" These are formidable competitors, to say the least.

Considering how stacked the category is, movie enthusiasts believe that "Barbie" will have a better chance at winning, and given the significant cultural impact it has had this year, many people want to see it shine in every way possible.
