Fury is mounting on social media after Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were snubbed for Oscar nominations for their film Barbie.
The Academy Award nominations were announced to fanfare in Hollywood on Tuesday morning – but the two most prominent women involved in last year’s billion-dollar blockbuster were notably left out.
Greta failed to secure a nomination for best director this year, and Margot, who played the title character, was also passed over for best lead actress.
The omissions attracted extra attention on account of the fact that Ryan Gosling, who played Ken, did get nominated for best supporting actor.
His song I’m Just Ken was also nominated.
Some social media commentators leapt to point the finger at sexism – despite the fact America Ferrera was nominated for best supporting actress for the same film.

‘Ryan Gosling, while deserving, got an Oscar nomination for Barbie while Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie didn’t?
‘Completely proving the point of the movie in 20 f***ing 24 you cannot make this up,’ wrote one X user of the feminist film.
