received eight Oscar nominations including a coveted one for best picture.Pretty good, right?Of course not. In fact, it’s hugely offensive.

Barbie-mania took over the world in July 2023, dominating box offices following months of teasers, trailers and incredible marketing.

Variety. “And then my phone started blowing up so I figured that I must have heard it right.” The overwhelming emotion surrounding earning her first Academy Award nomination — for playing Gloria, the human lens through which “Barbie” is viewed in the $1.4 billion blockbuster comedy — has been shock. “I still haven’t really been able to get in my feelings because I’m still on like the top layer of ‘I can’t even believe that this is real,'” Ferrera explains.

the 2024 Oscar nominations were released Tuesday, movie fans heard not so much a hot field of contenders, but a list of losers.So many names, such dismal chances. Readers Jack Quaid and Zazie Beetz might as well have said, “And now, ‘Oppenheimer’… and everybody else.”Christopher Nolan’s epic film about the father of the atomic bomb scored 13 nods, the most of any movie, and is a shoo-in for Best Picture and Director.Two of the acting races are also sewn up: Supporting Actress (Da’Vine Joy Randolph in “The Holdovers”) and Supporting Actor (Robert Downey Jr. in — what else? — “Oppenheimer”).

Barbie have been left fuming by the absence of Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig from the Oscar nominations.The film did receive a total of eight nods, announced earlier today (January 23), including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling and Best Supporting Actress for America Ferrera.However, Gerwig missed out on the Director nominee list, with Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Yorgos Lanthimos, Justine Triet and Jonathan Glazer all getting in ahead of her.Similarly, Robbie was left without an acting nomination, with the spaces being filled by Emma Stone, Lily Gladstone, Annette Bening, Sandra Huller and Carey Mulligan. Margot does, however, receive a nomination for Best Picture for her role as a producer on the film.

EXCLUSIVE: Oscar nominations will be announced Tuesday morning, and expected to be strong contenders in the Screenplay categories are Golden Globe winner and BAFTA nominee Anatomy of a Fall in Originals and newly minted Adapted Screenplay BAFTA nominees Poor Things, The Zone of Interest and All of Us Strangers.

Margot Robbie‘s Barbie is without a doubt the biggest movie of the 2023. However, it was hardly the first attempt to get a movie inspired by Mattel’s iconic doll into theaters.

Sharon Stone has revealed that she pitched a Barbie-related movie back in the 1990s, but her ideas were dismissed.The Total Recall actor commented on an Instagram post by America Ferrera of the speech the actor made when she accepted the SeeHer Award at the Critics Choice Awards on January 15.In the video, Ferrera acknowledged and thanked Barbie star, Margot Robbie, saying: “Margot, you saw value in Barbie, an entirely female idea that most would have dismissed as too girly, too frivolous or just too problematic.” She also added: “Thank you for gifting the world with Barbie.”Stone, aged 65, commented on the post: “I was laughed out [of] the studio when i came w the Barbie idea in the 90s w the support of the head of Barbie”.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sharon Stone has revealed that she once attempted to pitch a “Barbie” movie to a Hollywood studio during the 1990s and was laughed out of the room. What a difference a couple of decades makes, as Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s “Barbie” opened last year and earned a staggering $1.4 billion to become the top-grossing film of 2023 and the biggest earner in Warner Bros.’ studio history.
