Margot Robbie's Oscars snub is played for laughs by Australian police as local authority claims they are 'investigating' her omission from nominations list


The actress, who was born and raised in Queensland , failed to make the Best Actress category for this year's 96th annual Academy Awards , to be held in Los Angeles on March 10.

Robbie's omission has prompted a wave of support after many expected her starring role in Greta Gerwig's Barbie - currently the highest grossing film of all time - to be acknowledged by the Academy board. Victoria Police in her native Australia have since jumped on the bandwagon by sharing their own post, albeit with tongue firmly in cheek, alongside a collage of photos featuring Robbie, 33, throughout her career. The critic refers to three films which did receive glowing nominations - Poor Things, which features sex work, Killer's of the Flower Moon, about serial slaughter, and Anatomy of A Fall about a woman accused of her husband's murder.
