Potato Tweet: Barbie has already been robbed during the nominations. Now it’s been robbed even more.
I assume it’s common knowledge by now that Oscars are not about art, at least not in the first place. So when I look at the politics of the awarded, I worry. Oppenheimer is good, no questions asked. What I worry about is the politics of not giving an Oscar to Killers of the Flower Moon at all. Through that the Academy kind of admits that it doesn’t care about Native Americans and their story. They care about Mariupol, but doesn't one dare talk about Gaza. They care about gazing at women much less than about taking a quick, light-hearted look at their psyche. That’s sad and irritating.
What increases my discontent is the amount of statuettes Poor Things has left the ceremony with. And I’m not gonna moralize about the sexuality of a child, I’m not a Victorian lady… I’m rather wondering about all the similarities between Yorgos Lanthimos’ film and Greta Gerwing’s film. Both staring a well known woman, who’s also a co-producer of the respective piece. The protagonist of each film is what seems to be a grown ass lady, who differs from the common understanding of “normal” and “suited for a society” in one way or other. Both Barbie and Poor Things are visually stunning.
The categories in which both films were nominated are:
best picture
supporting actor (where it was kind of obvious it’s gonna be Robert Downey Jr., but I was holding onto the glimmer of hope it’s gonna be Ryan Gosling, so that the Academy can say “Hey, we awarded this pink movie something! Sure, it’s for the male supporting role in a very feminine movie, but we awarded it something!)
adapted screenplay
costume design
production design
The only two categories in which Barbie was nominated and Poor Things wasn’t, are:
actress in a supporting role
original song (with “What Was I Made For?” and “I’m Just Ken”)
Which scores it the total of 8 nominations in 7 categories.
Meanwhile Poor Things scored 11 nominations all together. It was nominated, except for the already mentioned, for:
actress in a leading role
cinematography
directing
editing
makeup and hairstyling
original score
For some perspectve: Oppenheimer got nominated in 13 categories.
What I'm trying to say here, is that it was understandable for me that Barbie got robbed cuz it's too entertaining, too pink, too commercial for the Academy. It wasn't the greatest production of the year. But it was an event! And just because of that it's already earned a very special place in the cultural history of the western world. I'd be interested to know how much of the commercial success of Oppenheimer was carried by Barbie and the other way around. The double-feature-premiere was a worldwide event of a scale of its own. Meanwhile Poor Things showed up rather late to the party. It's not a multiplex film. It's a Mubi film. It's artsy. It's different. It's also a story about women's sexuality written and directed by a dude, based on a novel by a dude. And the Academy likes it more than a story by women for women about what it's like to be a women, which also allows it to prove how much they care about Art. AKA how pretentious they are. That's my beef.

i love how barbie trades idealistic singularity for the human potential of everything, including motherhood and generation. and i love how this is presented in the most fuck terfs way possible--through humor, nuance, subversion, and most importantly, love.

Tudo sobre o figurino de Barbie
O live-action de Barbie, dirigido pela Greta Gerwing, chegará ao Brasil em julho deste ano. E, se assim como eu você também está ansioso(a) pelo filme conferir os figurinos pode ser o que a gente precisa pra aguentar até lá!!! Como responsável pelos figurinos do longa temos a Jacqueline Durran, ganhou o Oscar pelo trabalho feito em Adoráveis Mulheres (2019) e Anna Karenina (2013) e possui outras…
