Margot Robbie on Oscar snub: ‘It’s been an incredible year for films’

The Barbie star responds to the outrage that met this month’s nominations, which left her out of the best actress category

Margot Robbie has responded to outrage over a perceived Oscar snub, saying the film has already managed to “shift culture”.

The star, who was nominated for her role as producer of the Mattel blockbuster Barbie, was left out of the best actress category when nominations were announced earlier this month, leading to anger across the internet. Writer-director Greta Gerwig, who received a nomination for best adapted screenplay, also missed out on a best director nod.
