Whoopi Goldberg Says Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig Weren’t Snubbed by the Oscars: ‘There Are No Snubs…Not Everybody Gets a Prize’


Whoopi Goldberg says there are no such things as snubs at the Oscars amid uproar over "Barbie" being left out of the best director and actress races.

Their film’s $1.4 billion gross, the highest earner of 2023, combined with the critical acclaim “Barbie” received also led many to think Gerwig and Robbie wouldn’t be left out of these races. Even Hillary Clinton weighed in on the snubs, sending Gerwig and Robbie a message over X that read: “While it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold, your millions of fans love you. “Barbie” is still very much in the running for the best picture Oscar (although many pundits agree Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” is the frontrunner), while Gerwig is a strong contender for best adapted screenplay alongside her co-writer Noah Baumbach.
