‘Barbie’ director Greta Gerwig finally opened up about losing out on a Best Director Oscar nomination. And she was surprisingly upbeat.
Barbie director Greta Gerwig has finally opened up about the infamous snub from the Best Director category at the upcoming Academy Awards. Though Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera received nominations for their respective roles, both of the women at the helm of the movie were left out — Greta and the film’s star, Margot Robbie. But surprisingly, Greta isn’t put out by the snub, and in fact pointed out the positives.
“A friend’s mom said to me, ‘I can’t believe you didn’t get nominated,’” she said in an interview for TIME published on Wednesday, February 21. “I said, ‘But I did. I got an Oscar nomination,’” Greta related.
