“Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as director.“, he stated. “What she did is something unique in her career and unique in her life. What she achieved, it really is. But it has been an incredible year for all films.”
Robbie emphasized that she was “beyond elated” about the rest of the film’s nominations. “For everyone to get the recognition they’ve had is just incredible, and the recognition for best film.”
“We set out to do something that would change the culture, affect the culture, just make some kind of impact.. And he has already done it and, in part, much more than we ever dreamed. And that is truly the greatest reward that could come from all of this.”
“People’s reactions to the film have been the greatest reward of this entire experience,” he continued. “Whether it’s seeing what people are writing online, or even just seeing how much pink I can see in this room right now… I’ve never been a part of something like this. Not that way. I’ve done comic book stuff and that gets a big reaction, but this felt very different. It still feels very different. And I can’t think of a time when a movie has had this effect on culture. And it’s amazing to be in the eye of the storm.”
Barbie is available to watch on HBO Max.
