Although Margot and Greta were snubbed for the hit flick, Ryan Gosling, who played the role of Ken did receive a nod - which isn't sitting too well with social media users. Another Barbie nod saw America Ferrera recognised for her role as Gloria in the flick.
"Ken getting nominated and not Barbie is honestly so fitting for a film about a man discovering the power of patriarchy in the Real World," penned one person on X, formerly known as Twitter.

While a third said: "The fact that the supporting characters got Oscar nods but the woman who played Barbie herself got nothing is not sitting right with me…" And a fourth said: "WHY DID MARGOT GET ROBBED OF THE LEADING ACTRESS NOMINATION, TAKE RYAN GOSLINGS OFF HIM RIGHT NOW."
Touching on Greta's snub, one person said: "Every year - the Oscars snub women behind the camera - but Greta Gerwig - come on!!!!! The Oscars really hate women."
