Jan 24, 2024 1:40 AM UTC Ryan Gosling released a strongly-worded statement in response to what may be the most controversial snubbing of the [2024 Oscar nominations](https://time.com/6565196/oscar-nominations-2024-snubs-surprises/). Gosling, who played the role of Ken in last summer’s box-office blockbuster [_Barbie_](https://time.com/6294121/barbie-movie-popularity-impact/), was nominated for best supporting actor at the Academy Awards. But neither director Greta Gerwig nor star Margot Robbie, who together [brought the doll to life](https://time.com/6289864/barbie-time-cover-story/) and were each nominees at both the [Golden Globes](https://time.com/6552849/golden-globes-2024-host-nominations-ceremony/) and [Critics Choice Awards](https://time.com/6555424/critics-choice-awards-2024-winners-nominees-oppenheimer-barbie/) earlier this month, received a nod in their respective categories. **Read More:** [_The Internet Has Thoughts on Ken Getting an Oscar Nomination Over Barbie_](https://time.com/6565502/margot-robbie-ryan-gosling-greta-gerwig-barbie-oscars/) Gosling expressed his delight for his own recognition and disappointment for his colleagues in a statement late Tuesday. ## Ryan Gosling’s full statement “I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films. And I never thought I’d being saying this, but I’m also incredibly honored and proud that it’s for portraying a plastic doll named Ken. But there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement. Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees. Having said that, I am so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to making this such a groundbreaking film.” ## America Ferrera also reacts America Ferrera, up for best supporting actress, was the only other member of the cast of _Barbie_ to receive an Academy Award acting nomination on Tuesday. “I still haven’t really been able to get in my feelings because I’m still on like the top layer of ‘I can’t even believe that this is real,’” she told trade publication [_Variety_](https://variety.com/2024/film/awards/america-ferrera-barbie-oscar-snubs-greta-gerwig-margot-robbie-disappointing-1235880039/), but she also noted Gerwig’s and Robbie’s snubbing: “I was incredibly disappointed that they weren’t nominated.” “Greta has done just about everything that a director could do to deserve it,” Ferrera said. “Creating this world, and taking something that didn’t have inherent value to most people and making it a global phenomenon. It feels disappointing to not see her on that list.” **Read More:** [_The Internet Has a Surprising Theory About Greta Gerwig’s ‘Barbie’ Oscars Snub_](https://time.com/6576866/oscars-2024-greta-gerwig-snub-internet-fan-theory/) As for Robbie, she added: “Perhaps people got fooled into thinking that the work seems easy, but Margot is a magician as an actress in front of the screen, and it was one of the honors of my career to get to witness her pull off the amazing performance she did. She brings so much heart and humor and depth and joy and fun to the character. In my book, she’s a master.” Ferrera nevertheless pointed to the significance of _Barbie_, as a rare women-led film, garnering an Oscar nomination for best picture: “Women filmmakers telling all different kinds of stories that resonate in different ways in the culture is the goal. I would love to see even even more female-directed movies on the list and to see more female directors acknowledged for making the best cinema of the year.” ## Transcript My Barbie needs more time. Okay. Not looking punk, I don't think I'm in love with what I've done. I think my farthest of hurts all expectations and I just I'm so proud. I don't want it. I don't want can Oh my God. Okay, now what is punk? I'm not a fashionista you guys but I think I know Punk. When I see it. I actually do. Love the look, I don't know if it's but I thought about it. So I would I would love like a quick 45 minutes with like I need a Lynn bread and then I can really show you what this rust can look like on a girl with blue hair. To me, no, offense to the Met Gala. This is what I Met Gala outfit. Looks like I chose a big helmet shoes. Are a bag. We're open at 7, the band with a little bit of crack out this one hops. Wow. I feel like she's, she's got like a contract. She can fly back and they want to just like it's like they were the mini dresses cuz they're not trying to do the gown dress code, but they left like the edges exposed. I thought about sunglasses but then it's like, you know, she's an up-and-coming independent film actress. So how are the Getty Image Photography is going to recognize her if she wears sunglasses? So, she took them off last second, Pirates. Understanding of this world is so nuanced. I have no recollection of playing with the pain but don't tell him that I love him. No, very handsy. So cool. Come on, Barbie. Oh my God. So hard to get her feet. How do we have? The dexterity is kids to do that? We had, we had nothing else to do. Is it a four-year because she facilitated the end of the writers strike. My Barbie is obviously a singer at this moment. She's hitting the high note. I am a Barbie girl. So mine has infiltrated either the government of North Korea or an alien invasion and their government. She's warned their outfits and she's worked herself like a Manchurian Candidate into the highest levels of leadership and taking them down from the inside because they took it from her, okay? It wasn't. And she lost the back of her pants and a fire, okay? So but you went straight from that to the time cover. Shoot. Yes. My Barbie wrote a book called women. It's about women, any idea you've ever had about women, any problem you've ever had with a woman, she she fixed all of it with her book and she's just signed a deal with Netflix for a film adaptations called woman. She's kind of the face of women everywhere, but she's wearing her sunglasses because she's like, who am I my email? And my lady is the first female president of the United States. And she wear policy so she's wearing a l movie. That's right. I definitely have worried about you be going up, Dale kind of turned into weird, Bobby off. I got played with a few times. What's cooking good-looking welcome, welcome to my house. Let me see, weird Bobby. We mean like a Bobby has been played with too hot and the real world and they hands up being a little messed up and maybe they got some Crayon on their face and scissors. Markers other stuff, you know, you missed your Barbie. I heard someone who looked like, whoever it was was amazing and I really don't like it when someone else does my hands or feet or maybe I was trying to do my earnings but yeah, the foot should I got all three of us like how many times but like the Chrissy Teigen sweet nothing like it was a screen. Grab of my feet in front of the shower and it was like I need to know everything about this. Like how many take? So she harness with Lola and we probably did? I don't know? Maybe eight takes. No, I didn't wasn't wearing a harness but I did hold on to like a ball when I got back to that. I was still steady holding, it would be like tomorrow. It probably is I'm at once again. Joker. Okay, she is a superhero. Her name is hot girl. She gets really hot. Literally it's baked potato Couture. She's burning evil. Evil know. She's burning that she's melting it down to liquid. Heat proof glass. We're going to see My superhero is. That's her name of the ability to inflict cramps on men. So she dress. Provocatively, the pimp then and then she's like texting. So he his superpower is to be invisible, which is why he's not wearing anything? Because when he goes invisible then you see the clothes walking around. So he has to be naked all the time with my boy, like to see a no, because it's attached to it goes invisible, might be out for the count. This is some sandwich girl. Okay, so her superpowers, you always have to give to someone who needs food, but the problem is, she also looks like a flasher when she goes up to someone and she's like a, you want something? I got something for you and they're like, they run away and she's like, oh, it's a sandwich here. Like we don't believe you and she's like, This is animal, she can turn into any type of animal giving cheetah, she's giving leopard. She's giving polar bear realness instead of like roaring. She does run. So she'll be like I'm impressed with the creativity. That's been put on display here and has been brought out of all of us. Grown people just the presence of the dolls and the clothes it really is an incredible thing. I needed me to it's a productive. Can we take this? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/6576771/ryan-gosling-oscar-nominations-barbie-statement-gerwig-robbie-ferrera/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/6576771/ryan-gosling-oscar-nominations-barbie-statement-gerwig-robbie-ferrera/"},"headline":"‘No Ken Without Barbie’: Ryan Gosling Reacts to Oscars Nomination and Colleagues’ Snubs","datePublished":"2024-01-24T01:40:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:50:36.538Z","description":"“To say that I’m disappointed,” Gosling said of 'Barbie' director Greta Gerwig and star Margot Robbie being snubbed by the Academy, “would be an understatement.”","url":"https://time.com/6576771/ryan-gosling-oscar-nominations-barbie-statement-gerwig-robbie-ferrera/","keywords":["awards","overnight","News Desk"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6a1f455f62955c1c/698a441fe6e84a2bc72b0e67/GettyImages-1501790248.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Koh Ewe","jobTitle":"Koh Ewe (Koyu) was a reporter for TIME based in Singapore.","url":"https://time.com/author/koh-ewe/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6a1f455f62955c1c/698a441fe6e84a2bc72b0e67/GettyImages-1501790248.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"GettyImages-1501790248","caption":"LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 25: Greta Gerwig, Ryan Gosling, and Margot Robbie attend the press junket and Photo Call for \"Barbie\" at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills on June 25, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.
