Becoming one of the most nominated films this year, Barbie has ignited hot debate after director Greta Gerwig and leading star Margot Robbie were ‘snubbed’ from other categories. While Barbie clinched eight nominations in prestigious categories, including Best Picture, the absence of Robbie in the Best Actress category and Gerwig in the Best Director category sparked widespread criticism. In response, many are coming out with statements of solidarity with the two women. Notably, joining the supporters is the former US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton. Taking to the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter), Clinton addressed the snub, offering words of encouragement to Robbie and Gerwig. “Greta and Margot, while it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold, your millions of fans love you. You're both so much more than Kenough. #HillaryBarbie," Clinton posted. Raking in over $1.4 billion, Barbie secured its status as the highest-grossing film of 2023. Despite the commercial success, the omission of key figures behind the film in certain categories has prompted a wave of disappointment online.
