The blockbuster “Barbie” received eight Oscar nominations this week, including a coveted one for best picture. Pretty good, right? Of course not. In fact, it's hugely offensive. To sum up the internet’s truly nutty response: How insulting and demeaning. The patriarchy strikes again! This film that’s grossed $1.4 billion at the box office has been egregiously robbed by our unfair system. The pink mob’s deafening whine comes from the fact that despite the doll film’s healthy haul of nods, it failed to secure any for best actress (Margot Robbie) and best director (Greta Gerwig).

When the Academy Awards passed over Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie for best director and best actress for “Barbie,” many saw some the patriarchy of their film at work. While “Barbie” came away with eight nods Tuesday, those two snubs have prompted a widespread backlash, with even Hillary Clinton weighing in. Clinton said Gerwig and Robbie are “both so much more than Kenough” in a post on X. Ryan Gosling said "to say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.” The uproar has the potential to upend the Oscar race.
