Ryan Gosling, Simu Liu Speak Out After Barbie's Oscars Snubs For Margot Robbie And Greta Gerwig
Gerwig and Robbie were not nominated, and people are upset
"No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit, and genius. To say that I'm disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement," he said. "Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees."
Liu, meanwhile, said Gerwig and Robbie "deserve everything" because "they ARE everything."
Being involved in a small way gave me a window into just how hard Greta and Margot had to fight to get Barbie made, and how flawlessly they executed. Together they started a movement, touched the world and reinvigorated the cinema.
