The only reason for this is because Ken is the father (mother?) of the trans movement. Ken was trans back in the 60s, man!

Gosling is a talented actor.

But RDJ didn't get a nomination for Iron Man, or Chris Evans for Winter Soldier, because the MCU films were 'comic book' action movies. But now all of a sudden a performance in a movie about Barbie is worthy of being nominated? Come on.
At least RDJ has a good chance to pick up one this year, for the same category Gosling is nominated for.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

And people wonder why no one takes the Oscars seriously. And have not in several decades. With these clowns its all about politics or social messaging/engineering. Production quality, acting ,etc have long been irrelevant.

Would you have preferred that he didn't get nominated? I'm trying to decipher which inconsequential things matter today.

Ironic that the one character in the movie that isn't woke also is the most interesting character that also shows the most character growth and complexity. And is a man.

It's a huge backfire on the writers and I love it.

My worthless opinion regarding a worthless organization's nominations certainly qualify as a 'inconsequential thing' which if it matters to you at all equates to get a life dude.

The last time I watched the Oscars was 1999. The fact that Saving Private Lost best picture to some arts and farts Shakespeare film did it for me. Done.

SPR was a tribute film to our veterans and our country itself. When it got snubbed I was literally beside myself.
Good example. One of many.
Same. That was the last straw for me after being disappointed in Annie Hall over Star Wars, and Chariots of Fire over Raiders of the Lost Ark.

haven't see it, but are you saying gosling shoudln't have been nominated, or robbie was snubbed?
I think it's just the irony that the only nominee in feminist movie was male. And the "Ken" character at that. It is pretty funny.

As an aside, my wife loved Barbie when she was a kid. I was out of town working so she bribed our teenage sons to go with her. I told her it was feminist BS and she'd hate it. I was right LOL.


Except America was also nominated and she did do an amazing job.

I saw the movie with my wife and found it plenty funny, and a clever take on trying to make a Barbie
Barbie was beyond funny it was over the top farce
Barbie reminded me of Monty Python films because so much of It was pure lunacy

2024 Oscar nominations: Margot and Greta snubbed for Barbie, but Ken gets a nod - Vox



Quote:

Well, it's official: Ken is an Oscar nominee. Ryan Gosling was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for Barbie, while Barbie and her female director were shut out.
Congratulations to Ken for being the real winner in the feminist Barbie movie.

....and men continue to take awards from women in 2024.

America Ferrera, as Gloria, was also nominated for "best supporting actress".

You comment about worthless movies I haven't and won't see and then get triggered, but I need a life? Classic.

Hope Gosling gets a new statue for his Mojo Dojo Casa House

Ken and Kate McKinnon psycho Barbie had the only funny parts in that movie.

And...the best actress in a female-centered movie is...a guy.

Is there ANYTHING that men can't do better than women?

So the writers… the ones that created the Ken character… Didn't realize they wrote him with growth and complexity?

Individual awards are given for the individual performance. Gosling acted his ass off in that role, even if the role itself was not entirely serious.

On the other hand, I would argue that the role was NOT "unserious." The Ken character actually showed the most growth and development of any character in the film.
