Despite Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig's rejection, which led to accusations of sexism, "Barbie" garnered multiple Oscar nominations, including Ryan Gosling for best supporting actor and Eilish's song.

The 2024 Oscar nominations were released on January 23, with "Barbie" receiving several nods, including best supporting actor for Ryan Gosling, best supporting actress for America Ferrera, and best original song for Billie Eilish's "What was I Made For?". Despite these recognitions, Margot Robbie was left out of the best actress category, and Greta Gerwig was overlooked for best director. These snubs were met with disappointment and even accusations of sexism. Robbie's co-star, Ryan Gosling, was nominated for an award, while the film's potential wins in other categories raised questions about the Academy's decision-making process.
