Barbie He didn't have to win all the Oscars to shine.
While the film's opening weekend counterpart, oppenheimerwas undoubtedly the big winner during Sunday's show with seven Academy Awards, there was still a lot of love for Barbie throughout the broadcast because, as we know, “Barbie has a great day every day.”
Greta GerwigThe film, nominated for eight awards, did not go home without honors. “What was I made for?” of Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas. It took home the Oscar for Best Original Song. Her performance, amidst a backdrop of pink tones and an orchestra, made the cast and the audience feeling the feelings. (Eilish also became the youngest two-time Oscar winner with her win.)
Although Ryan Gosling didn't win in the same category, he brought the great Kenergy… and Slash! – for his passionate rendition of “I’m Just Ken.” The set once again glowed in shades of pink, but it was Gosling's total attitude, which he also had while playing the role of Barbie “No. 2,” that made the sometimes bland awards show, directed by Jimmy Kimmel, shine like the actor's dazzling Gucci suit. initial tip of ken's hat.

There was Barbie hum throughout the show from the beginning. The first image viewers saw on their screens was of Margot Robbie as Barbie in the film's bus stop scene, which Gerwig called the “The heart of the film.” Kimmel portrayed “The Woman in the Dock,” 92-year-old Oscar-winning costume designer Ann Roth, and was the recipient of Barbie's teary-eyed “You're Beautiful.”

In fact, ever since their arrival on the red carpet, the cast of the summer blockbuster had people talking. Robbie, who helped elevate Barbiecore by wearing every shade of pink imaginable during her press tour and awards season, did the complete opposite on Oscar night.
The Australian actress and producer wore a black strapless dress by Versace. Gosling and her co-stars Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu and Issa Rae also wore black. That helped brighten Best Supporting Actress nominee America Ferrera's pink Versace dress.
Meanwhile, Gerwig (who wasn't nominated for a director nomination) arrived dressed as her own golden statue, a total power move to accompany her film's narrative.
At the end of the day, there are many films that have been snubbed or largely ignored by the Academy that live on in the hearts of moviegoers. Turn on your TV right now and Life imprisonment It's on one of the channels. In 1995, the film did not win any awards despite seven nominations. Scorsese The wolf of Wall Street It was not a winner nor were the classics. Rebel Without a Cause, The Shining, Stand by Me and Reserve dogs. And although Glenn Close is one of the best actresses out there, she has never won an Academy Award among her eight nominations.
So if you think Barbie Last night he was a loser and went home with only one Oscar, to borrow a phrase of his: “Either you're brainwashed or you're weird.” He is deeper, and he always was.
