I’ve said all along since seeing the movie that Ryan Gosling’s performance was almost too good for the material and I loved Barbie for what I took it as; a fun movie. People being upset that he’s up for best supporting actor need to turn off their emotions for a minute and think about it. I’m a big Margot Robbie fan and I loved her performance but did she deserve best actress That’s a way bigger category than best supporting anything and a lofty thing to expect from a fun movie. I say that because normally Oscars and fun movies don’t mix. And was she really the best actress out of everybody last year I can’t say because I haven’t seen the others but I would guess not. Besides it’s up for best picture so why would they complain Just because the two main women involved didn’t make the cut Grow up. Seriously the technical stuff it’s up for is well earned because the movie looks beautiful like no other I’ve seen in a while. Like a lot of women I teared up while watching it but not because of the Billie Eyelash song I was overwhelmed during the first few minutes of Barbie waking up in her dream house and going about her morning by a huge shot of Nostalgia. So yeah I get the emotions because it stirs them up but the outrage is ridiculous.

Wow, so much respect for this video! I haven't seen any of them yet lol, but based on this video alone and what I've heard about Barbie and the rest Definitely makes sense! I'm looking forward to seeing Barbie too but yeah, the so called whiners are just complaining as usual!
Since we're being brave here, I will point out that just cause it's Martin Scorsese, doesn't mean it's always good! Haha, yeah I said it! He's overrated! Especially his more recent one's! It's mostly the same boring tropes! I actually did try watching Irishman and fell asleep! Anyways, nice vid on speaking some truth!

while movies like Killers of the Flowers Moon, Oppenheimer and Poor Things deserve to win Oscars and are still great movies to tell you the truth the reason people are going to show favouritism to movies like Barbie, The MCU and Super Mario Bros is that people like Happier and more uplifting movies and easier to understand while the others and a bit sad, dark and long with commentary you really have to think and have a different opinion and a different way of thinking that might get to hard and to difficult to figure out and it's hard doing that while watching a sad movie sometimes

Drama, History, Biopics, what about just lifting our mood from whats going around in our sad world Musicals used to do that during the War or Comedy This is just a fun movie for the Kids and/or Family night if you have a Theatre still open near you.
It made a pile of money and that was the draw from the beginning. It did not tell the story of how Barbie, in real life, came to be, but it sure felt good to smile again. POV.

That the academy leans towards melodrama is exactly my point that for at least the last 60 years or so, they have been biased against certain genres. Recently putting foreign melodramas to avoid entertaining movies. Even though it has best foreign language film. How many animated movies were nominated for best picture after best feature length animated movie beame a category. I can tell you NONE.

The entire movie was just a (nonsensical) montage that ended where it started. No, the points it made were not good; it is not literally impossible to be a woman. I love that soliloquy, ranted by a woman who had a great paying job, an awesome child, home, car and absentee husband she gave zero ss about. She was literally what so many women say they wish could be.

Let's be honest the movie is too silly packed with a lot of speeches that feels more like a lesson more than a movie it was a fun ride But they wiped mens' face with the floor which made me think what if it's the other way around, won't be the same huh! At last it was funny but silly

Greta has been nominated for prior work she’s done like Ladybird, she’s not hurting from not getting nominated. She still made a successful movie awards or not.
Also Whoopi said it best, just because you don’t get nominated doesn’t mean you’re not talented.

It’s really not that Oscar worthySure the cinematography is good, the acting is good, but the dialogue was mid, the social commentary was excruciating I can name you 10 movies in 2023 that had amazing use of cinematography and acting that didn’t even get nominated.

There’s too much fuss made about the Oscars anyway. Movies are a form of art, and art by its very nature is subjective. If you enjoy a movie don’t let a group of snooty gatekeepers tell you it’s a bad movie. If you like it that’s all that matters.

This whole thing proves women dont want gender equality.
America ferrera and Ryan gosling were nominated for barbie, a man and a woman, it doesn’t get more equal than that
But equality clearly isnt enough for women

Thank you for sharing your two cents with us, Nathan. I do agree with your opinion that the film is a little too goofy compared to the other Best Director Contenders, but at least Greta Gerwig got recognised for her writing.

Despite all the snubs, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Barbie. I feel like Greta Gerwig made it mostly for those who weren't big fans of Barbie, like me. I think she did a really good job overall

I recognize that I'm veering into whataboutism, but if Gerwig shouldn't get a nom, neither should Chris Nolan. Oppenheimer was good, but wasn't his best.
Instead, Celine Song should get the nom.

I'm Not Defending Barbie (2023) Or Anything But Blood In Blood Out (1993) was 3 hours and 10 minutes yet I'd rather watch that than stuffy old Oppenheimer (2023) screw the Oscars and The Emmys

Terrible
She ABSOLUTELY deserved it
If her film gets a Best Picture nomination, she definitely should get one for director for the movie she co wrote!

Two things can be true:
1. Greta Gerwig is a very talented director
2. With 5 nominations, not every talented person will get nominated every year

The movie was entertaining and worth a watch Ryan Gosling contnues to show a wide range. But this movie being Oscar worthy I don't know why it would be.
