Whoopi Goldberg weighed in on the absence of Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig from the 2024 Oscars nominations for Best Actress and Best Director. The EGOT winner, who won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1990, explained on The View that these are not snubs but rather the result of the voting process. Goldberg clarified that the members of the Academy, including herself, vote for Best Picture nominations, and not every film can receive a nomination.

She emphasized that not everyone gets a prize and the movies that individuals love may not be loved by the voting members.

Goldberg's co-panelist Alyssa Farah Griffin expressed her confusion regarding the missing moral of the story of Barbie. She questioned why the focus was on celebrating the male character, Ken, and not the female lead, suggesting that this situation may inspire a sequel where Barbie goes to Hollywood and faces snubs from the elite who prefer Ken.
