Oliver Stone Apologizes to Ryan Gosling and Greta Gerwig for 'Barbie' Criticism

The Oscar-winning director admitted on Tuesday that he regrets criticizing the project before seeing it.

Oliver Stone has issued a mea culpa to the team behind Barbie-- and star Ryan Gosling in particular -- for criticizing the movie before seeing it. Stone went on to point out his love for Gerwig's 2017 movie, Lady Bird, calling the Saoirse Ronan-starrer "one of my favorites of that year." Barbie earned eight nods when the nominations for the 96th Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday, including Best Supporting Actor recognition for Gosling and a Best Adapted Screenplay nom for Gerwig and her husband and writing partner, Noah Baumbach.
