Margot Robbie addressed the Barbie Oscars snubs for the first time while speaking during a special SAG screening on January 30

[{"selector":"#anim-8c552599-fd63-45f0-ac4d-df6c8a1aa2fd","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-39b1466d-d5df-4444-9dc8-456c220e2def","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 103.99501%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-337dba78-af16-416f-ac5f-961f6d0a36bc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Her response is loud and clear: “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed

[{"selector":"#anim-28161aff-cbde-4b8d-9c76-dc9c6b63d885","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5bd214db-b9d4-4af8-a184-b0ae51af3cbd","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 113.92183%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0b2e4f58-3ce0-40c9-8dd6-2e48a8ed1386 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, -0.0001941747609315314%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

While she’s clearly not pressed about not receiving a Best Actress nod, Robbie admitted she feels a bit different about Gerwig’s case

[{"selector":"#anim-65947120-1e20-4438-a360-35bae8acc324","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d71a496a-0eee-45ce-a9a4-340a67d99a98","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 107.26217%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ef8ab4f2-59c6-43c4-a4e8-d28abe2e14ab [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Robbie's castmates America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling both earned nods in the Best Supporting acting categories

[{"selector":"#anim-780a8778-f3db-40e6-bbe6-bfea53b7ff4f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-04c6c20b-8d3c-4e11-af65-9eb72afec678","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 107.26217%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b93f9eda-0ae2-4dc7-9bfb-1f53a38eebbb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Barbie did in fact snag eight nominations in total, making it the fourth most-nominated film at this year's ceremony after Oppenheimer

Robbie also made sure to shout out the nominations her film did get during the screening
