Hey Barbie, we have to talk about all that went down in the real world this past week. On Tuesday, the 2024 Oscar nominations came out — and neither Greta Gerwig nor Margot Robbie got their expected best director and best actress nods. It didn’t take long for many to voice their outrage. After all, “Barbie” brought in nearly $1.5 billion in ticket sales globally, making it the highest-grossing film of 2023 and Gerwig the highest-grossing female director ever. Plus, Gerwig managed to elevate a film about plastic dolls into something entertaining and meaningful. The snubs were proof that Hollywood is “still one big mojo dojo casa house” — and “could have been a storyline straight out of the Barbie movie.”

But did Uncle Jesse really need to weigh in? Or, HGTV, for that matter? Definitely not, according to the backlash to the backlash. And in some ways, we have to agree: While we appreciate the solidarity posts, we’d love to see the same “Kenergy” for the “Past Lives” snubs. Or, for any of the other Oscar nominees whose achievements were largely overshadowed in the last few days. That includes “Barbie” costar America Ferrera, who was nominated for best supporting actress. If she wins, that may change. We hear she gives great speeches.
