Here&#039;s the nominations Greta Gerwig&#039;s Barbie has recieved for the 96th Oscar Awards including a twist in the screenplay category.

After Much Controversy, Did &#8216;Barbie&#8217; Get a Screenplay Nomination in Oscars 2024?

The debate is settled. Margot Robbie’s Barbie failed to get an Original
Screenplay nomination for its script written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach
at the 96th Oscars. However, the film did manage to land a nomination in the
Adapted Screenplay category, finally putting the debate over the screenplay
being adapted or original to rest. Despite missing out on the Original
Screenplay selection, it is a big win for the flick’s makers.

After all, the vivid aesthetics of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie were not the only thing
that caught audiences’ attention last year. Its sarcasm-laden dialogues were
inspired by themes that many resonated with, courtesy of Gerwig and her husband.
Fans can raise their flags in victory for now as the nomination may just lead to
a much-deserved win.

Here is a rundown of the flicks that Barbie will be contending with in the
Adapted Screenplay category.


BARBIE VS 4 FLICKS THAT STAND IN ITS OSCAR WIN’S WAY

Besides Gerwig and Baumbach’s ingenious layered script, other films whose
screenplay was recognized as possible winners in the same category include its
foremost nemesis, Oppenheimer. For the war drama flick, Christopher Nolan will
go up against Gerwig and Baumbach for the award. Another war flick nominated in
this category is The Zone of Interest.

Besides these, two dramedy flicks have also entered the arena. One is American
Fiction by director Cord Jefferson who also served as its writer and is hence
nominated for the screenplay bit. The second is the surreal, critically
acclaimed comedy, Poor Things, for which Tony McNamara landed the nomination.

Another category in which Barbie has a horse in the race is the Male Supporting
Actor. 


RYAN GOSLING AND AMERICA FERRERA COULD BE ROBBIE AND GERWIG’S RETRIBUTION 

Unfortunately, neither Barbie’s lead actress, Margot Robbie nor director, Greta
Gerwig enjoyed a nomination in their primary categories

Still, Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera became the saving grace as their
excellent portrayals of Ken and Gloria landed them supporting actor and actress
nominations. Well, they could be the only ones to hoist Barbie‘s bright pink
flag at the 2024 Oscars.

Besides smaller categories like Best Picture and Adapted Screenplay, the La La
Land actor and Ugly Betty sensation are the only ones representing Barbie in the
main categories. So, fans are banking on them to win so the much-loved flick can
boast of an Oscar win this year.
