Oscar rejections are unavoidable. However, The View panel did not hold back in highlighting this one as especially heinous. Barbie, the year’s greatest blockbuster, was nominated for Best Picture, but Greta Gerwig was not nominated for Best Director for this film. In addition, Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera received supporting actor nominations, while Barbie star Margot Robbie was passed over for best actress. The ladies of the panel echoed the joke about the Academy Awards, acknowledging that they could have missed the movie’s main message.

Joy Behar jokingly said, «What’s interesting is that ‘Barbie,’ which is the girl movie — the only nominated is a guy.» To this, Sara Haines sarcastically added, «So they understood the message.» As per The Wrap, Alyssa Farah Griffin concurred and said she was ‘bummed’ that Gerwig, in particular, had been left out.
Griffin said, «I just think that Greta Gerwig is brilliant. She’s luckily been nominated and won before, but I think that she was taking on something so important, it does kind of feel like the message of the film was sort of missed in it.» For Barbie, Ryan Gosling received an Oscar nomination in the category of Best Supporting Actor.
