The Oscars nominations and the unexpected success of Ken in Barbie

The Barbie film received a Best Picture nomination at the Oscars, with Ken, played by Ryan Gosling, being the only major character nominated. This ironic twist highlights the disconnect between the film's critical acclaim and the lack of recognition for its lead female character and director, Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig, respectively. Meanwhile, other notable nominations include Oppenheimer, a standout film with multiple nominations, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Killers of the Flower Moon, and The Holdovers.
