There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie film without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this historic, world-famous film,” Gosling said. – To say I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their categories is an understatement.
He singled out Robbie and Gerwig’s contribution to cultural history.
With only a pair of soulless puppets, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they advanced culture and made history. Their work should be recognised alongside that of other very worthy nominees.
Despite being upset with Robbie and Gerwig, Gosling said he was “extremely honoured” to be recognised by the film academy alongside “such wonderful artists of so many great films”.
‘I never thought I’d say this, but I’m also incredibly honoured and proud to be nominated for playing a plastic doll called Ken,’ the film actor added.
