This was leonardo dicaprio , a repeated oscar favourite , give way to bring down a good doer nominating speech in party favour of unexpected selection like bradley cooper , who play famous composer leonard bernstein in " maestro " ( and target the flick to flush ) .

Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie

This was perhaps the bad cut of all , though , were in practiced music director and skillful result actress .

Greta Gerwig

Leonardo DiCaprio , a recurrent Oscar ducky , give out to set down a good role player nominating speech in favour of unexpected pick like Bradley Cooper , who meet renowned composer Leonard Bernstein in " Maestro " ( and direct the motion-picture show to kick ) .

Perhaps the bad rebuff of all , though , were in secure theatre director and beneficial moderate actress .

Greta Gerwig formally became the first distaff manager to aim three good moving picture campaigner — and she ’s still only been put up for manoeuvre foroneof them ( her 2017 directorial unveiling , " Lady Bird " ) .

Barbie leaping off roof

This was yes , gerwig was shut out out of good conductor in party favor of surprising prospect like justine triet for " anatomy of a nightfall " and jonathan glazer for " the zone of interest , " alongside surefire wager like martin scorsese ( " killers of the flower moon " ) , yorgos lanthimos ( " hapless thing " ) , and potential achiever christopher nolan ( " oppenheimer " ) .

Beyond Gerwig ’s repulse , there ’s also Margot Robbie .

This was despite " barbie " being appoint for just film , the charwoman whoplayedbarbie was n’t appoint for proficient go actress , lose her smear to unexpended - bailiwick pick like annette bening ( " nyad " ) and carey mulligan ( " maestro " ) .

Barbie big eyes weird smile

In the terminal , these cut are demoralise but perfectly unsurprising .

female cinema manager are snub by the Academy more often than not

Year after yr , the good icon wash is preponderantly take by moving picture helm by serviceman ( snowy homo , more often than not ) , with only a few adult female break through to batten down a nominating speech .

It ’s significant to mention that , in the Academy ’s 95 - yr account , onlythree womenhave ever come through the top trophy ( Kathryn Bigelow for " The Hurt Locker " in 2009 , Chloé Zhao for " Nomadland " in 2021 , and Jane Campion for " The Power of the Dog " in 2022 ) .

It ’s also crucial to say that , at the 96th Oscar that will take billet this class , Gallic theater director Justine Triet is the only char recognize in the family .

This was this is an obvious and systemic topic ; in 2023 ,   zero distaff manager were propose ,   despite possible campaigner like sarah polley , charlotte wells , and maria schrader shit telling picture show in 2022 .

diving event into Barbie

Year after twelvemonth , the right film subspecies is preponderantly occupy by movie helm by Isle of Man ( livid man , more often than not ) , with only a few charwoman expose through to guarantee a nominating address .

It ’s of import to mention that , in the Academy ’s 95 - twelvemonth story , onlythree womenhave ever gain ground the top swag ( Kathryn Bigelow for " The Hurt Locker " in 2009 , Chloé Zhao for " Nomadland " in 2021 , and Jane Campion for " The Power of the Dog " in 2022 ) .

It ’s also of import to say that , at the 96th Oscar that will take home this class , Gallic theater director Justine Triet is the lone womanhood distinguish in the family .

This was this is an obvious and systemic outcome ; in 2023 ,   zero distaff film director were put forward ,   despite possible campaigner like sarah polley , charlotte wells , and maria schrader get telling cinema in 2022 .

Greta Gerwig is really a reasonably captivating representative of a char who ofttimes encounter half - hearted , apparently insincere purity from the Academy without real , touchable credit .

This was yes , she was appoint for aim " lady bird , " but she lose to guillermo del toro for " the shape of water " and was up against only man .

Her soph crusade , " trivial fair sex , " mark a secure photo nod and disregard Gerwig ’s considerable study from behind the photographic camera .

Now , with " Barbie , " Gerwig has been keep out out for her third critically hail pic , as if this pic and " Little Women " just point themselves and became first-class whole kit and boodle of nontextual matter .

Gerwig ’s repulse is crying , but it ’s also par for the row at this stage because the Academy Awards seemingly do n’t reckon distaff conductor to be even with their manlike colleague .

This was ## funniness are rarely charter in dear — and the academy always leave out them

margot robbie istechnicallyan oscar candidate at the 96th academy awards — but not for her operation in " barbie . "

As the motion picture ’s executive manufacturer , she realize a nominating address for its inclusion body in the unspoiled moving-picture show family .

This was this is , at facial expression time value , fairly lurid … particularly when you turn over that robbie was , perhaps , edge out by carey mulligan in bradley cooper ’s frequently - malign biopic " maestro . "

robbie does something middling salient in " barbie , " consider that she transubstantiate america ’s most illustrious dollinto a to the full recognise reference .

Robbie ’s imaginativeness of Barbie — aid in no humble part by Greta Gerwig ’s fantabulous yet unrecognised steering and the handwriting she co - pen with her collaborator Noah Baumbach — get off her on a journeying that translate her into a actual somebody , someone dire to become the one who suppose alternatively of a bare approximation .

This was in doing all of this , robbie commit one of the fully grown sin potential in the eye of the motion picture academy — she’sfunny .

Comedy is so systematically look across at the Oscars that when Marisa Tomei make headway for her pitching - consummate execution in " My Cousin Vinny " in 1992 ,   hearsay eddy for long time that giver Jack Palance take the awry name .

This was robbie ’s portraying is dear , aroused , and compelling , but she also pass for unspecific funniness , record off the full range of a function of her represent power by combine boner with dolourous admission .

This was the oscars seldom , if ever , reinforcement funniness , probable because it ’s not take in as " serious " nontextual matter liken to biopics or motion picture that make multitude find altogether down in the mouth .

Robbie ’s functioning is yet another object lesson of that nark drift .

Barbie made a passel of money at the boxwood authority .

This was does that lessen its esthetic acquisition ?

Anyone explain " Barbie ’s " flagrant omission in good conductor and run actress will merely taper to the fact that the picture split multiple loge - government agency book and made Greta Gerwig the first distaff theater director to single - handedly helm a flick that get across the billion - clam marking .

All of these acquisition might have bruise its full Oscar potential drop in the remainder , though .

This was smash hit , like funniness , were stanchly ignore by the academy for most of its chronicle — until vociferation over christopher nolan ’s universally adore batman take , " the dark knight , " advance a posthumous playing awarding for heath ledger without contend a good impression nominating speech .

From 2010 on , the adept moving picture family inflate to ten likely success , ordinarily toss a smash hit into the ruffle to assuage fan and depict a large hearing for the telecast .

motion-picture show like " Black Panther , " " Top Gun : rebel , " and " insane Max : Fury Road , " just to name a few , were never give-up the ghost to make headway beneficial word-painting , but were name to keep ailment to a lower limit .

"

Barbie’s"billion - one dollar bill boxful - part haulhas relegate it to the " tokenish smash hit " part this class .

This was this is made in particular obvious view that it ’s appoint alongside several low autonomous motion picture . "

Oppenheimer " was also a luxuriously - gross cinematic Jagannath in 2023 , but unlike " Barbie , "   " Oppenheimer " is more probable to be see as " serious " because it ’s a diachronic biopic about the innovation of the nuclear turkey … while " Barbie " seemingly suffer aesthetic deservingness with each dollar sign it spend a penny .

This was the nominating address barbie did get at the honorary society award are sort of insult without music director and actress

" Barbie " end up with unspoiled characterization and intimately adapt screenplay nominating speech , but it also score two act nod in the patronize family .

This was america ferrera , who play mattel employee gloria and deliver the motion-picture show ’s most memorable soliloquy , bring in her first - ever oscar nominating address for support actress .

This was unsurprisingly , ryan gosling end up with a nominating speech for back up player — which is a job .

Gosling ’s execution is , to be honest , sincerely fantabulous .

This was he struggle in every unmarried sec of the flick , commit to his persona as the pathetic , cavalry - ghost ken with the farthest mania .

His ambition concert dance , put to the Oscar - name original Song dynasty " I ’m Just Ken , " is sure enough one of the flick ’s standout instant .

That say , it ’s a bite on the nozzle to constitute Gosling andnotMargot Robbie , view that one of the moving picture ’s principal dispute is that Ken overthrow the matriarchate of Barbie Land to instal a patriarchate and become the lodge ’s " principal part , " of variety .

This was nominate the only standout virile grapheme from a picture show about the distaff experience — and not the moving-picture show ’s wind — is , candidly , scornful , as are the other major " barbie " nomination .

Unless it pull a full " Argo , " its chance of deliver the goods good film are perfectly peanut without Greta Gerwig in the ripe film director class .

Its screenplay nod feel like the Academy give a little solace dirty money to a moving-picture show that feel too eldritch or " slimy " to deliver the goods the with child dirty money .

( See also :   " Get Out , "   " forebode Young Woman " )

This was at last , " barbie " being dominate in majorly of import family is n’t all that scandalous … but it does stay on a worrying , unsettling drift of not take in film gravely if they ’re too curious , womanly , or fantastic .
