Whoopi Goldberg countered outrage over Barbie Oscar snubs by arguing, "Not everybody gets a prize."

Goldberg stated her position on Wednesday's episode of The View, calling out fans' anger that Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were not nominated for Best Actress and Best Director, respectively.

The cohost opened with a statement by Ryan Gosling, who did receive an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Ken in the film.

In a statement shared with PEOPLE, Ryan Gosling expressed his disappointment:

"There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no 'Barbie' movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film."
"No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius."

After reading the statement, Goldberg asked if everyone agreed and was met with a resounding "Yes!"

But Goldberg asserted there "are no snubs."

She explained:

"That’s what I want to sort of point out."
"It’s not the elites, it’s the entire family of the Academy who vote for Best Picture nominations. We all vote for Best Picture, everybody."
“You don’t get everything that you want to get."

Cohost Sunny Hostin revealed she believed the film Origin was snubbed, to which Goldberg responded:

“But there are no snubs."

Hostin acknowledged:

“Not everybody gets a prize."

And then Goldberg continued:

“And that’s what you have to keep in mind: not everybody gets a prize."
"And it is subjective. Movies are subjective."
"The movies you love may not be loved by the people who are voting."

Some viewers of the segment agreed with the cohost that box office success does not necessarily equate to Oscar-worthiness.





Others, however, held their position that Gerwig and Robbie deserved the nod.






Gosling wasn't the only nominee to speak out about the snubs.

America Ferrera, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, also shared her dismay.

She told Variety:

“I was incredibly disappointed that they weren’t nominated. Greta has done just about everything that a director could do to deserve it."
"What Margot achieved as an actress is truly unbelievable. One of the things about Margot as an actress is how easy she makes everything look.”

The 96th Annual Academy Awards air Sunday, March 10, 2024 on ABC.

After President Donald Trump lashed out at late-night host Seth Meyers on Truth Social over the weekend and called him a "truly deranged lunatic," Meyers responded to Trump’s “ranting and raving” about him with a damning supercut on his program.

Trump apparently tuned in to Thursday night’s episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers, where Meyers poked fun at the president’s complaints about Navy aircraft carriers using electromagnetic catapults instead of traditional steam-powered ones. Meyers joked that Trump "spends more time thinking about catapults than Wile E. Coyote."

Girl's Hilarious Reaction To Getting Divisive Candy For Halloween Caught On Doorbell Cam

In the '80s and '90s, kids were raised with the understanding that they got what they got, and they should say, "Thank you," for what they received. This was true for birthdays, holidays, and trick-or-treating on Halloween, even if they got candy they wanted to throw away the instant they turned the corner.

But kids today are much more communicative about what they like and don't like, and they can be brutal in their bluntness.

The Flat Earth conspiracy theory is strictly a modern online movement, rumored to have begun as a prank, that gained momentum among people who mistrust authority through the power of social media.

There is a persistent myth that Europeans in the Middle Ages believed the Earth was flat. But that is a 19th-century fabrication to sell Columbus Day, not historical reality.
