Actor Ryan Gosling has said he is “disappointed” that Barbie’s Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie were snubbed in major Oscar nomination categories.
Gosling said he was “honoured” to be nominated for best supporting actor for “portraying a plastic doll named Ken”.
“But there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie.”
Many had expected Gerwig and Robbie to be nominated in the best director and best actress categories respectively.
But there were nods for the two elsewhere. Robbie was recognised as a producer in the best picture line-up, while Gerwig was nominated alongside her husband Noah Baumbach for best adapted screenplay.
Barbie was the highest-grossing film of 2023, taking $1.44bn (£1.14bn) worldwide.
