Margot Robbie’s missing Oscar nomination: Police want to investigate

“Police are investigating” because she “was robbed of an Oscar nomination for best actress,” the agency jokes.

Queensland, Australia actress Margot Robbie was not nominated for a 2024 Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Barbie in the film of the same name. Since the Academy Awards announced their suggestions for possible winners on Tuesday (January 23), the lack of naming of the “Barbie” protagonist has led to headwinds. Now an Australian police authority has joked on Facebook that they want to start an investigation into the case because Robbie was apparently “robbed” of a nomination.

Since both Robbie and director Greta Gerwig were nominated at many other awards ceremonies before the Oscars (Robbie, for example, for Best Actress at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards; Gerwig was nominated for Best Director at the Golden Globes), Many fans expected at least a listing in the top categories of the Academy Awards. The shock about the lack of nominations made the rounds on the Internet.

“Police are investigating”

The Victoria State Police Department said on social media: “Police are investigating after a former Ramsay Street resident was allegedly robbed of a Best Actress Oscar nomination.” The officers were humorously referring to Robbie’s previous role in the Australian soap opera. Neighbors.”

Of course, her joke works even better in English, as “Police investigate as Margot Robbied” is a nice play on the actress’ name. So in German the gag is lost and it is simply translated as: “Police are investigating because Margot was robbed,” which only makes a bit of sense.

Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken in the film, also couldn’t hide his disappointment at the lack of nominations for his co-stars. He made it official via The Hollywood Reporter: “Against all odds, they’ve made us laugh, they’ve broken our hearts, they’ve advanced the culture, and they’ve History written. Their work should be recognized alongside the other very deserving nominees.”

“Barbie” received eight Oscar nominations in the following categories:

  • “Best movie”
  • “Best Adapted Screenplay” (Greta Herwig and Noah Baumbach)
  • “Best Original Song” (Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” and Billie Eilish and Finneas’ “What Was I Made For?”),
  • “Best Production Design”
  • “Best Costume Design”
  • “Best Supporting Actor” (Ryan Gosling)
  • “Best Supporting Actress” (America Ferrera)
