Will Margot Robbie Receive a Double Nomination for Producing and Acting in “Barbie”?
As the film “Barbie” continues to dominate the box office, many are wondering if its star, Margot Robbie, will receive a double nomination for both producing and acting. The film, produced by Warner Bros, has been a hit with audiences, and Robbie’s performance has received praise from critics.
Robbie, who has been nominated for two Oscars in the past for her roles in “I, Tonya” and “Bombshell,” is well-liked by her fellow actors and could potentially be a strong contender for an acting nomination. Additionally, as one of the producers of “Barbie,” she could also make history as the second woman to be nominated for both producing and acting in the same year.
However, the comedy genre is not always favored by awards voters, so “Barbie” would have to prove itself as an awards favorite in order for Robbie to receive a nomination. The film has already gained attention in the comedy/musical categories at the Golden Globes, but it remains to be seen if other award groups will follow suit.
In addition to Robbie, other actresses are also being considered for a nomination in the Best Actress category. Greta Lee, who starred in the film “Past Lives,” and Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, who appeared in Todd Haynes’ “May December,” are among the top contenders. However, decisions on their campaigns have yet to be made.
There are also several other films with potential award-worthy performances that have not yet been released or have uncertain release schedules due to the Hollywood strikes. These include “The Color Purple” with Fantasia Barrino and “Dune Part Two” with Zendaya.
Overall, the race for Best Actress at the Oscars is still wide open, with many actresses in contention. The official nominations will be announced in January, and the 96th Oscars will be held in March.
As award season approaches, it will be interesting to see if Margot Robbie’s performance in “Barbie” and her work as a producer will earn her a double nomination and potentially make her a strong contender for the Best Actress award.
