The conversations around Barbie are very weird to me. Retrospectives are happening too fast on film twitter to be honest. Looking back at Fight Club years later makes sense, American Psycho, etc... but how are we already looking back at Barbie, a movie that came out last year as being *checks notes* not that good actually lmao and not deserving of award recognition? Mind you it will walk away with two, at most, oscar wins so what are we really upset about?

Same people mad at the America Ferrera nom I bet had nothing to say about RDJ getting a nom for tropic thunder, or Johnny Depp getting a nom for playing a fucking pirate. All comedies. So do we want the academy to acknowledge comedies (and horror) or just the ones we personally like?

I want to end on this 'Ryan being nominated and not Margot is dumb' convo and I hope what I'm about to say makes sense lol. Ryan and Margot gave the same level of performance IN MY OPINION. They just did. Very good performances that are on par with each other so if you snub one, snub the other haha I don't care. BUT at the end of the day it wasn't margot vs ryan because they are not in the same category. Y'all are trying way too hard with the "this was exactly what the movie was trying to say" narrative when it comes to these nominations. It's never going to be that serious. Margot will be on that stage as a producer if Barbie wins picture. Greta got the adapted screenplay nomination. Again, what are we really upset about?

Barbie was a huge achievement that deserves most of the noms it got, the snubs are not a big deal, the movie is good, the monologue is corny to you lmao get over it.
