So it’s not about money, it’s about critical success now? I stand by what I wrote, the direction should be judged on its own merit, not by how much money the movie made, or how many memes it spawned, or any other irrelevant criteria.
And of course there has been, and still is, sexism at the Oscars. And if you want to make the argument that the direction of Barbie is good enough to merit a nomination, I’m not standing in your way, it’s a fine movie. I think the others deserve it a bit more, except for Zone of Interest, which I haven’t had the chance to see yet, but that is subjective.
What I am vehemently disagreeing with, is your original argument, that, while not exclusively because of it, Gerwig should’ve gotten the nomination based on the financial success alone.
