'Barbie,' Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig Snubbed for Major Oscar Nominations: See Fan Reactions

The blockbuster earned eight nominations on Tuesday morning, but the Academy failed to recognize Barbie herself, Margot Robbie.

However, while the film did earn Best Supporting Actor and Actress recognition for Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera, and a Best Adapted Screenplay nom for Greta Gerwig and her husband and writing partner, Noah Baumbach, it also received two of the year's most notable snubs, with Gerwig getting shut out of the Best Director category, and Barbie herself, Margot Robbie, being left out of the Best Actress category. Many disappointed fans took to social media in the wake of the announcement, decrying Robbie's snub, in particular, to further illustrate Barbie's message about women being overlooked for their achievements. "Maybe there should be an Oscar category for best film that directed itself, and Greta Gerwig and Sarah Polley and Barbra Streisand can throw themselves a giant party," one fan tweeted.
