Fans of Margot Robbie were left disappointed when the Academy failed to nominate her for her role in the film "Barbie" at the 2024 Oscars. While Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera received nominations for their roles as Ken and Gloria, respectively, Robbie and director Greta Gerwig were overlooked. 

Many fans took to social media to express their frustration with the decision. One cinephile tweeted, "I can't stop thinking about the Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie snubs. To nominate Ryan and America and not the lead or the director is just a baffling decision all around." Another user described the snub as "so messed up," while a third expressed being "SHOCKED & disappointed" with Robbie's lack of nomination.

Despite the disappointment, Warner Bros.' "Barbie" did receive a Best Picture nomination. 

Some viewers pointed out the irony in a film with a feminist message not receiving a nomination for its female lead, yet celebrating the performance of the male supporting actor. Robbie and Gerwig have not publicly commented on the snub. "Barbie" received a total of eight nominations, including Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. The ceremony also saw other notable snubs, including Charles Melton for his role in "May December" and Leonardo DiCaprio for "Killers of the Flower Moon.
