But on the other side, there is Margot Robbie and Great Gerwig’s Barbie, which despite having several nominations, has won in none of the categories. Thus, with no awards coming in its direction, fans of the actress and the film are naturally upset as they have a meltdown on the internet on the bad luck that has fallen on the movie.

Everyone remembers the Barbenheimer phenomenon that swept the globe last year as Barbie and Oppenheimer were the biggest and most popular releases at the global box office with record sales and equally record-setting critical reviews.

Thus, with the Academy Awards being the main focus of those critical appraisals, many believed that these films would win in 2024 in some of their nominated categories.

But as it stands at the moment, the only film from the two that seems to be scoring big at the 2024 Oscars is Christopher Nolan‘s directorial masterpiece, which along with receiving the award for Best Picture, has also enabled the filmmaker to hold the award for Best Director.

These combined with the other awards received by the cast and crew of the film, tallies up to a total of seven wins out of thirteen nominations for Oppenheimer. On the other hand, despite Margot Robbie‘s film being nominated for nine categories, has won none at the moment. Thus, fans on the internet are not taking this news very lightly.

While there’s still a high chance that the film will win in the Best Song category for Billie Eilish’s What Was I Made For, the chance of it winning any other category is still a tall order at the moment.
