    Oscar nominations 2024: One where Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were left out

    Lifeby Ruman Baig1 hour ago As the 96th Academy Awards nominations were announced, the film industry was abuzz with a mix of anticipation and surprise.Among the unexpected highlights was the dominance of ‘Oppenheimer,’ a film that secured a staggering 13 nominations, overshadowing even the much-anticipated ‘Barbie,’ which managed to snag only eight nods.The most glaring omission for ‘Barbie’ was in the Best Director category, where the talented Greta Gerwig failed to secure a nomination. Additionally, Margot Robbie, who delivered a noteworthy performance in the film, missed out on the Best Actress nod. This unexpected snub has undoubtedly become a focal point of discussions surrounding this year’s Oscar race.Contrastingly, Emma Stone-starrer ‘Poor Things’ earned significant recognition with 11 nominations, proving to be a dark horse in the competition. Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ also stood strong with 10 nods.One of the most groundbreaking moments in this year’s nominations was the acknowledgment of Lily Gladson, who received a Best Actress nomination for her role in ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’ Gladson’s nomination not only celebrates her individual achievement but also marks a historic moment as the first Native American to be recognized in this prestigious category.The Oscar nominations are often marked by unexpected twists, and this year is no exception. While ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Poor Things’ emerged as strong contenders, ‘Barbie’ faced an unforeseen setback, raising questions about the criteria used in the selection process. The absence of Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie from the Best Director and Best Actress categories, respectively, has fueled debates within the industry, reminding us that the unpredictability of the Oscars is part of what makes the ceremony so captivating for audiences around the world.– For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and InstagramFeature Image: Instagram @margotrobbieofficial More
