Whoopi Goldberg Calls Out Outrage Over 'Barbie' Oscars Snubs: 'Not Everybody Gets A Prize'

@enews Whoopi was absolutely right on Barbie. Marvel superhero movies gross millions it doesn't mean they're art and worthy of awards it's for entertainment. Barbie was a shallow film but the nominations went to the 2 people that carried it. Maestro was a fiasco that's also why no best\u2026

@nypost She\u2019s correct.

@Variety Hundreds of films made. 5 directors nominated. What makes you the best? Your own thoughts. Thousands vote for 5 out of hundreds. Greta and Margot changed cinema! They brought back audiences. So did Marvel. They don't deserve Oscars. 10+ yrs vs 1 film does not equal Oscar.

@DEADLINE She has a point and I agree \ud83d\ude42

@PopBase Exactly. They weren\u2019t. Margot got the nomination she deserved, Producer. Greta got the one she deserved, writer. There were much better actors and directors in those categories this year than the Barbie film. It was basically a 2-hour ad for Mattel\u2026

@PopBase I get the sting of a missed nomination, especially for such talented artists like Robbie and Gerwig. But Whoopi's right - awards are subjective, and sometimes your masterpiece just doesn't resonate with the voters. Still, their work in 'Barbie' was phenomenal, and recognition\u2026

@nypost Barbie is a good film and Margot Robbie was terrific in it. Annette Bening was poorly cast as Diana Nyad and didn't deserve a nomination. I don't think Margo would've won but she earned a nomination. Ken gets in, Barbie is out. That fits in with the theme of the movie. .

@PopBase saying its supposed to be subjective then saying that the nominators might not love it is completely contradictory\u2026the whole point is to judge these movies based on cultural impact, artistry, success, overall impact, etc, which unbiasedly Margot and Greta have achieved

@PopBase but they ARE snubs. both of them deserved.

@PopBase greta and margot were definitely snubbed whoopi sit this one out

@PopBase It just feels like a personal snub to Greta and Margot at this point... I mean Ryan Gosling said There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig & Margot Robbie. It's a snub

@PopBase If the voters didn\u2019t like the movie why did Ryan gosling get a nomination\u2026? \ud83d\ude2d

@PopBase They deserved to get recognized. Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, you truly changed the game. The Oscars missed a beat by not acknowledging your impactful work. \ud83d\udc94
