In a recent interview, America Ferrera spoke out about the surprising 2024 Oscars nominations and the notable absences of Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig. America expressed her disappointment over her co-star Margot and director Greta not receiving any nominations for their work on Barbie.
The nominations for the upcoming Academy Awards were just announced and there were definitely some unexpected snubs. While there were some surprise inclusions, such as Barbie receiving eight nominations, many were taken aback by the lack of recognition for Greta and Margot. America, who played Gloria in the film and delivered a powerful monologue, was herself nominated for Best Actress alongside other talented actresses.
Despite her own nomination, America couldn't help but express her disappointment for her fellow castmates and colleagues. She stated that Greta has done everything a director could do to deserve a nomination, from creating a global phenomenon to adding value to something that was initially not highly regarded. She also praised Margot's acting skills and how effortless she makes her performances seem, calling her a "magician" on screen.
As for her own nomination, America was initially convinced that she had made it up until she received overwhelming love and support from her fans and colleagues. She was not the only one from Barbie to receive recognition, as her co-star Ryan Gosling was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Song.
The success of Barbie and Greta's film, which passed the $1 billion mark at the box office, made it even more surprising that Greta was not nominated for Best Director. Justine Triet was the only female director to make the list, alongside renowned names like Christopher Nolan and Martin Scorsese. This lack of female representation extended to other categories, with Celine Song also not receiving a nomination for her highly acclaimed film Poor Things.
The 2024 Oscar nominations also included some familiar names, such as Bradley Cooper, Paul Giamatti, and Emma Stone. It's safe to say that the upcoming ceremony will be an exciting one, with many talented individuals being recognized for their work.
Since the Oscars began, only seven women have been nominated for Best Director, with Justine becoming the eighth. This is a reminder of the lack of diversity and representation in the film industry, and it's important to continue supporting and celebrating talented individuals, regardless of their gender.
