Should Barbie Win the Oscar? | Guilty Pleasures Ep. 147

Need to acknowledge that America didn't disappear, she crushed it in Superstore

Love Kelsey sm, but the idea that people who have acted in more high-profile movies deserve an Oscar if they've never won before (instead of a newbie) is 100% why the Oscars have lost their magic. The best performance of the year deserves to win THAT year - that's it!

[@nataliarojas4701]

There’s no chance he’ll read this lol but I feel so compelled to give Zach a huge appreciation for his takes throughout the podcast. As an Indigenous person and Latina, it was very disappointing to see that Margot and Greta not getting nominated completely overshadowed the Oscar’s discourse and didn’t allow us to celebrate Lily Gladstone and America Ferrera’s nominations. It was such a pleasure to see so many BIPOC people nominated across the board who truly deserved it. Not saying Greta and Margot weren’t great, but they were not the best, and they’ll definitely have more opportunities to be nominated and win an Oscar. I understand Kelsey wanting awards to be given to people who’ve been in the industry for a longer time, but we cannot deny people an award just because they’re new if there’s a high likelihood that BIPOC folks will never get nominated or get another huge role again. If it is suggested that the Oscars not be so quick to give awards to new nominees, then there has to be as much energy put into reducing barriers for BIPOC people in the industry. And ironically for me, while I did enjoy the Barbie movie, the lack of an intersectional feminist lens in the movie was the same thing I saw reflected in society during all the Oscars’ conversations. So thank you Zach, from one of your day 1 fans 💚

[@julua4220]

I completely agree with you! Khadija Mbowe made an incredible video about the toxicity of white feminism, especially in how it relates to the outrage around Margot and Greta not getting Oscar nominations.

[@honoluluw]

i saw an article where michelle yeoh aka the first asian to win best actress was asked about greta gerwig and margot robbie being snubbed, and i was like why would they ask her that lmao?? if they wanted to ask her about the oscar nominations why couldn't they ask her about lily gladstone being nominated and the posibility of a native american actress winning? or about actors of colour who got snubbed like greta lee, fantasia, teo yoo, and charles melton if they wanted to talk about snubs so badly? the whole discourse was just giving white feminism

[@PokhrajRoy.]

CONGRATULATIONS TO GARRICK! Such a good writer to have on ‘Rick and Morty’.

[@StephanieRamones]

Hot take but Kelsey's give it to the veteran schpiel is low key the attitude that keeps a lot of BIPOC from winning awards. It's hard enough for BIPOC to get in the room in the first place and now you're saying they have to be veterans to win (when even then that wont get you the win i.e. Angela Bassett).

[@CK-ou3es]

kelsey in this episode was really the poster child for white feminist

[@Hop3y16]

@@CK-ou3estruly has been my problem with her since the He’s All That episode. The rant I put under that video speaks for itself.

[@stellatuda9508]

Yes!!!! I really like her but that was so annoying I mean BIPOC and foreign actors will have this once in a lifetime opportunity, give the best performance of the year and lose because others are white, old and american.

[@SakuraPixie]

Oh so relieved for Zach’s take on this because I personally became more and more enraged as the upset overshadowed all the other triumphs this Oscar season.

[@nimelri]

I think the thing that’s missing from the Past Lives conversation is that it is, above everything else, the story of being an immigrant and how that changes you as a person. The movie is really just about her wrestling between who she is and who she could have been. That’s part of what makes it so heartbreaking. Not necessarily just her relationship with her childhood best friend.

[@linhsbin]

this so much!!! I feel like most people who aren't immigrants or children of immigrants really overlooked that aspect of the movie. I think that's why the quote “who you are is someone who leaves" hits us so much more because we can relate to it so much more. whether we leave family, friends, lovers, jobs or opportunities behind, we leave a part of ourselves behind.

[@primecreator5257]

God I hated that movie. Literally bland softcore porn for women fantasizing cheating.

[@julua4220]

I completely agree with Zach in terms of the Greta and Margot outrage. Ryan's performance in the Barbie movie was so obviously more outstanding than Margot's, and even though she was more pivotal to the movie, her performance just wasn't compelling enough to be Oscar-worthy. Those who are upset about Margot and Greta not getting nominated are completely ignoring the fact that this year is an incredible year for women in movies, especially women of color. Just because the movie that is specifically about feminism didn't get nominated for as many awards as people would've liked shouldn't discredit the fact that this was an extremely successful year for feminism in general.

[@otter.mayhem]

1000000000%, Ryan Gosling was an actual treasure in that movie, I enjoyed his acting more than Margot's, and a lot of his lines and deliveries were improv! Like when Barbie says she'll be Ken's low commitment girlfriend or whatever and he goes around the corner and shouts "SUBLIME!" and then comes back like "ah, cool", that was Ryan's improv! And he SANG and DANCED his heart out, I was so impressed by everything in his performance, like he took the campy fun and didn't just run with it, he embraced it and improved it and made it believable!!! Another standout for me was Simu Liu, he was such a small role but he was just delightful. And I LOVE Margot, I thought she did great lol I will just seize any opportunity to gush over Ryan Gosling's performance in that movie! I need to see more camp and comedy from him in the future, I need it 😂

[@eddistasio644]

Let’s not forget. Oppenheimer the Oscar best picture winner is produced by a woman Emma Thomas

[@cheesecakelasagna]

@@eddistasio644 Yep, it's as if people truly only care women when they're visible. "If it's not a '💪feminist✨' movie, it's made by/for men" kinda mindset.

[@xxAlexixx88]

I completely agree with Zach, Margot got nominated as a producer & Greta Gerwig got nominated as a writer & that’s more appropriate than actor & director noms. I thought when Ryan released a statement, it took away from those amazing accomplishments they still achieved!

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Same! I feel like Barbie was more a story and production triumphant (convincing Mattel to be on board with the thesis statement of the film is a gargantuan task). The story is novel, the direction isn't Greta's best tbh, Margot had done more craftmanship-level acting.

[@B16wally]

I am totally with Zach in this one, it's not that Greta and Margot were not good in Barbie they were bested by other directors and actresses in those categories.

[@bernaxt]

the whole editors bit of Jonathan checking if Francesca Scorsese still follows him.... I died hahahaha

[@cheesecakelasagna]

truly heartbreaking

[@w.massgurl1863]

His humor is quiet in comparison to the rest of the staff. As he is. But I love that about him.

[@ellieisanerd]

I think Zach's point of the Barbie nominations and the fact that the directors are against other directors, and Margot being against other actors, and maybe they were #6, but its the top 5 that make it to the Oscars is so important!

[@itskaraelizabeth]

17:23 ZACH! American ferrera didn’t disappear for a decade! She was on superstore which was hilarious

[@evildoesnotsleep-x2b]

18:41 no, Kelsey, Lily Gladstone won't get to veteran status cause POC don't get offered Oscar worthy parts like their white counterparts, which is exactly why winning now matters!!

[@FlagCutie]

One question for Kelsey, did you think Oppenheimer was a movie about the bomb, or about the actual scientist himself? That definitely changes things. I have heard a few people saying it was TOO long because they were expecting a story about the creation of the bomb, but it wasn't. The movie was literally about the guy, the bomb was just part of his life story. Just my two cents.

[@mariapaularinconhoyos1688]

“I don’t really care about the third act of Oppenheimer” is such an American thing to say. Is giving: let me watch the bomb and not the consequences.

[@nailinthefashion]

Imo the film should just be the third act lol it’s one of those subjects that should only be a documentary or book

Huge congrats to Garrick for Rick and Morty! Completely agree with Zach on the Barbie Oscar noms. Good film, but it got the nominations it deserved!

Huge Kudos to Zach for also bringing up the role of film in highlighting current social and geopolitical issues🙏 Oh, and thanks Jonathan for saying how boring Napoleon was!

The fact Zach missed a chance to sing take you granted like Gosling when talking about Wes Anderson is mind blowing.

[@FlagCutie]

So funny, I'm usually of the opposite opinion from Zach, but this episode he seems to be taking the thoughts out of my head 😂 I enjoyed Oppenheimer and think it is indeed the better movie, but I am SO glad Barbie was as bright and colorful as it was, instead of all dark and Nolan-y!

[@amandajunecesarano7423]

In the Barbie discourse, people aren’t acknowledging that the Oscars routinely disfavors both comedies and box office hits. It was impressive that Ryan and America got the nominations. Also, when people talk about the movie Amadeus, they don’t talk about Mozart, they talk about Salieri. Because he was the most interesting and unique part of that movie, like Ryan in Barbie.

[@shannnon598]

Okay also where was the love for Priscilla? That movie and Sofia Coppola was so good Movies that were largely snubbed this year that were so good: -Priscilla -Society of the Snow -All of Us Strangers -Iron Claw -Perfect Days -Origin

[@malahape]

hot take: barbie is a good movie but people make it better than what it is because what it means for them. it is so difficult to explain but watching the film from a different perspective of feminism, patriarchy and writing - it is just a movie that was okay. it doesn't feel like a film but rather a long theme with random characters populating it.

[@meikusje]

And its feminist message is rather superficial and unoriginal. I heard someone describe it as 'feminism for kids', and I think that's a good way to describe it. I don't think that's a bad thing either, and I don't think it's a bad movie, but in terms of both cinematic quality and feminist message, there are better movies. I'd go so far as to say that Birds of Prey, another Margot Robbie movie, is a better feminist movie, and Margot Robbie's performance as Harley Quinn in it is far more interesting and better than her performance as Barbie.

[@alexisreve1]

6:40 1000% agreed, thank you. Margot Robbie was good in the movie, but her performance was not of "best actress" quality.

I've started to notice something about Zach. Not just this podcast episode, but over the course of multiple episodes from this podcast and The TryPod. Whenever he is passionate about something (whether it be something he is agreeing with or disagreeing with), he doesn't let others speak. He talks over people or cuts others off. That's just something I've noticed.

[@tavl1722]

It was hard to concentrate on the first 5 mins of this because I was too busy being jealous of Zach’s Benito sweater 😭😂🖤

[@cheesecakelasagna]

Zach's outfit game has been on fire lately, I'm seriously taking notes.

[@cheesecakelasagna]

My biggest criticism of Barbie is the "let's make Kens jealous" being the ultimate solution. I hate that trope anyway, it makes the characters instantly feel one-dimensional. But it also made the third act feel like it needed a few more revisions. It feels like Greta and Noah had a solid beginning and middle but ran out because the production started.

[@nailinthefashion]

But that’s why it was meta imo. Cuz they’re childish, they’re distracting the Kens from what really matters, they’re all still playing pretend and ultimately fighting over plastic. It wouldn’t be a mature ending, something an adult would expect, but something absurd.

[@cheesecakelasagna]

@nailinthefashion Fair enough. That theory could also imply that the whole story could also be orchestrated as if it's just another doll play time.

[@taryntroxel6588]

JUSTINE TRIET FOR THE WIN!!! Thank you Zach! I’m prepared to flip cars if she doesn’t win.

[@melneth3119]

Here's the thing about RDJ. We ALL know he should have won for Iron man back in the day but the snooty old judges generally ignore science fiction, comedy, horror and fantasy films. If you look 90 percent of the movies that get nominated are dramas. Return of the king only won because of HUGE pressure from fans when they dissed the other films in the series. This is why viewership of the awards is going down every year. Honestly I generally haven't heard of or are bored to death by half the movies that get nominated. I'd rather go by the rotten tomatoes score or imdb because that's how many real people liked the movie. I mean think about it what dramas do you remember from the 80s? I bet you remember aliens and ghostbusters though.

I so appreciate the Killer’s of a Flower Moon note from Zach! The book is in the perspective of Molly and the victims, and the storyline is so much more interesting when told from her view. Side note: this actually took place 10 min from my home town and I never learned about it until 10 years after I moved out of Oklahoma and read the book. Definitely a story that needed to be told, just wish the film wasn’t in the white man’s perspective.

[@brandylynn3056]

Thank you for including Palestine in your discussion about Zone of Interest, I’m hoping to see the movie this weekend in theatres! It’s so important to take historical movies and put them into modern day perspectives, I think that’s the whole point of movies in general, bringing them into the real world in some way. Appreciated hearing you guys talk about it. I would like to add my two cents about Barbie, when I saw the nominations I initially had the reaction that Kelsey had, and honestly I’m not a movie buff and Barbie is one of the only movies I’ve seen on the Oscar list, but I do think that being so obbsessed with Greta and Margot not getting the “correct” nominations is a very white feminist take on the issue and it’s something I’ve had to correct myself on. I also feel like Barbie isn’t even that feminist of a movie. Don’t get me wrong I loved the movie so much but the whole point is that Barbie and Ken’s, Women and Men, can’t exist in a world where one has more sway over the other, and THAT makes it a feminist movie because it’s about equality of the sexes but I get annoyed when people think the movie is only about Barbie and Women only because they think that feminism is about lifting women over men when that isn’t true. So yea I had to get over it and admit to myself that Ryan Gosling did do a better job than Margot Robbie and that’s okay!! I was lowkey holding my breath and super apprehensive when Zach was giving his opinion but I honestly agree with what he had to say. However, I would’ve like some commentary on how Barbie was treated at the Golden Globes. I look forward to this podcast episode every year even if I haven’t seen all the movies and would love a part 2 with Rainie and Garrick!!

[@nailinthefashion]

The audience breakdowns were generally male and white lol it’s clearly the target demographic. Meanwhile Barbie is a party everyone was invited to, thus it made more money. Everyone cares about nuclear war, but, we already know it’s bad and think it never should have gone there ….. that’s what she means. There’s no need to tread that beaten path in a biopic imo

I get that the Oscars is about ~the art of film~ but Hollywood/city people cannot continue acting surprised by outrage about nominations when they don't deem their ~art~ worthy enough to be seen by everyone. I live in a town of 20,000 people with 6 movie theaters within an hour of here. Poor Things played in 1 theater, once a day, for 2 weeks. Zone of Interest, Past Lives, and Anatomy of a Fall didn't play ANYWHERE. So why should we care about those films if we weren't given the chance to appreciate them???
