Margot Robbie is lastly talking on the Oscar snubs heard ‘around the world over “Barbie” — and whereas she’s taking the excessive street for herself … she’s going to bat for her director.

The actress shared new remarks on the problem Tuesday evening throughout a SAG-AFTRA panel the place she was current and given the ground to air out her ideas. It is fascinating … MR does not handle her personal snub for Finest Actress, however she does explicitly defend Greta Gerwig.

Margot says, “Clearly, I feel Greta must be nominated as a director, as a result of what she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime factor, what she pulled off, it truly is. However it’s been an unimaginable 12 months for all of the movies.”

She went on to say that she’s “past ecstatic” that ‘Barbie’ racked up as many nominations because it did (8) — however in the identical breath, famous she understood the frustration from followers.

Margot completed by saying … “I simply suspect it’s greater than us. It’s greater than this film, it’s greater than our business.” Unclear what precisely she means by that … feels like she’s referring to politics throughout the Academy, although.

Last item Margot talked about on this matter … “We got down to do one thing that will shift tradition, have an effect on tradition, simply make some form of impression. And it’s already achieved that, and a few, far more than we ever dreamed it will. And that’s actually the most important reward that might come out of all of this.”

Bear in mind, there was widespread outrage over the very fact Margot and Greta had been left off the nominations record — despite the fact that Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera obtained Oscar nods.

Many felt if Ryan was nominated, it was a no brainer to get Margot in there too … seeing how she actually carries the movie, and is the guts and soul of the entire thing.

She’s clearly a little bit peeved about it … however not for herself, it appears. Seems like she’s in the identical camp as everybody else on this — particularly, “Barbie” ought to’ve gotten extra recognition.
