The film “Barbie” failed to receive any awards at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) held in the United Kingdom. Despite being nominated for five awards, including Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay, the movie did not win in any category.
The movie “Barbie” and its creators were left empty-handed, going 0-for-5 at the ceremony, which is often considered a precursor to the Academy Awards.
Other acclaimed films such as Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Maestro” also failed to secure wins, with nine and seven nominations respectively.
The absence of nominations for “Barbie” is particularly noteworthy, as it sparked significant controversy when both Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie were not nominated for Best Director and Best Actress, respectively.
The absence of nominations for “Barbie” garnered attention from various quarters, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who expressed her opinion on the matter.
Following Greta Gerwig’s absence from the BAFTA nominations, Margot Robbie addressed the issue, highlighting its significance.
