In a recent episode of “The View”, Whoopi Goldberg, the esteemed EGOT winner, addressed the Oscar nominations for “Barbie” (2023), specifically the exclusions of Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig. Amidst a wave of public disappointment and outcry, Goldberg offered a contrasting viewpoint, asserting that these omissions should not be viewed as snubs.
Her stance resonates with a broader understanding of the awards: that not everyone can win and the choices made by the Academy don’t always mirror public sentiment. Goldberg’s comments underline a fundamental aspect of the entertainment industry, where recognition, though highly sought after, remains subjective and not all contributions, however significant, are awarded.
