‘The patriarchy wins’: Ryan Gosling nominated for Oscar amid Barbie snub

Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan says Ken is having the “last laugh” after Ryan Gosling was given an Oscar nomination while Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were snubbed from the list. “Barbie is the box office smash of the year – grossing over a billion pounds worldwide,” Mr Morgan said. “It’s a movie about female empowerment and dismantling the patriarchy – you’d expect its star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig to be recognised at the Oscars, but the leading ladies missed out. “So the patriarchy wins, and Ken has the last laugh.” Ryan Gosling reacted to his co-star missing out on an Oscar nod, saying that him being disappointed by the snub is an “understatement”.
