Host Jimmy Kimmel addressed Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie's 'Barbie' nominations snubs during his 2024 Oscars opening monologue
Jimmy Kimmel kicked off the 2024 Academy Awards by addressing this awards season’s hottest topic: Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s Oscar snubs.
Kimmel went on to praise the film’s star and producer, Robbie, 33, who for being able to “put this giant hit together.” Pointing out her seating placement behind costar Ryan Gosling, Kimmel joked: “Ryan and Margot, I want you to know that even if neither one of you wins an Oscar tonight, you both already won something much more important: the genetic lottery.”
Earlier in his monologue, Kimmel addressed Barbie’s box office success, noting that the film was able to “take a plastic doll nobody even liked anymore” and turn it into a pop culture moment. “I mean, my wife before this movie, you would have had a better chance of getting my wife to buy our daughter a pack of Marlboro Reds than a Barbie doll,” he quipped.
“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,” Gosling said in a January 23 statement. “To say I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.”
