Barbie star Margot Robbie ain’t mad about the Oscar snub the Internet won’t shut up about, and would rather defend director Greta Gerwig and everything she’s achieved.
During the SAG-AFTRA discussion with her co-stars (via Variety), the actress was obviously asked about Barbie’s eight Oscar nominations and what many people believe is one of this edition’s biggest snubs – Robbie missing out on Best Actress. Since she was also a producer on the project, it seems she wasn’t too bothered by it, having said: “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed.”
She admitted, however, that she was kinda upset about writer-director Greta Gerwig being left out (again) of the Best Director category, in spite of her movie impressively outperforming across several groups and even landing a Best Picture nom. “Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as a director,” Robbie said, “What she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing. What she pulled off, it really is. But it’s been an incredible year for all the films.”
