00:00 "I'm just kidding, anywhere else I'd be a ten."
00:04 Ryan Gosling is weighing in on Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie's major Oscar snub for Barbie.
00:11 Oscar nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, where Gerwig missed out on a Best
00:15 Director Oscar nomination and Robbie was not nominated for Best Actress.
00:20 Many strongly criticized the nominations as snubbing the blockbuster film's two biggest
00:24 creatives. Gosling, however, was nominated for a Best Supporting Oscar, along with his
00:29 co-star America Ferreira, but had some strong words for his other co-star snubs.
00:34 "I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable
00:38 artists in a year of so many great films. And I never thought I'd be saying this,
00:42 but I'm also incredibly honored and proud that it's for portraying a plastic doll named Ken,"
00:47 the actor continued. "But there is no Ken without Barbie. And there is no Barbie movie without
00:52 Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making,
00:56 globally celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their
01:02 talent, grit and genius. To say that I'm disappointed that they are not nominated
01:06 in their respective categories would be an understatement," he further added.
01:09 "Against all odds, with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad and,
01:13 thankfully, crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts,
01:17 they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognized,
01:21 along with the other very deserving nominees."
