The collaboration of Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and Ryan Gosling in the 2023 film "Barbie" caused a significant shift in the entertainment industry. This movie, with its captivating plotline and abundance of comedy, managed to earn a billion dollars at the box office. However, some critics argued that the film had been excessively hyped and failed to live up to expectations. Nevertheless, the recent nomination of "Barbie" for the "Best Stunts in a Movie" award by the Screen Actors Guild has left many puzzled.
The Screen Actors Guild, commonly referred to as SAG, recently concluded their strike and resumed their work as usual.
With the year coming to an end, it is now time for various award ceremonies to recognize deserving movies and actors. The announcement of the nominations for the "Best Stunts in a Movie" award included well-known titles like "John Wick: Chapter 4" and "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One." Surprisingly, amidst these big names, the 2023 Greta Gerwig film "Barbie" starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling also made the list.
Upon learning of this nomination, people took to the reply section on social media to express their confusion and disbelief.
Some argued that "Barbie" did not deserve to be on the list and accused it of being overrated. Speculations arose that its inclusion was merely an attempt to promote inclusivity, while others playfully mocked the nomination.
While the battle for the "Best Stunts in a Movie" award remains undecided, only time will reveal the true winner according to the Screen Actors Guild. Additionally, with "Barbie" generating over a billion dollars at the global box office, fans are curious about the possibility of a sequel. Margot Robbie hinted at the potential for a follow-up during a chat on the Golden Globes red carpet, challenging skeptics to prove her wrong.
In an interview with the Associated Press, she stated that although no immediate plans were in place, it did not mean the end for "Barbie." The film, which received a rating of 6.9/10 on IMDb and 88% on Rotten Tomatoes, can currently be streamed on Max in the U.S.
