The former ‘Neighbours’ star has the full support of local authorities
The post Australian police “investigating” after Margot Robbie “robbed” at Oscars appeared first on NME.
An Australian police force has joked that it is “investigating” the Academy after Margot Robbie was “robbed” of a Best Actress nomination for Barbie at the 2024 Oscars.
Barbie has earned eight Oscar nominations in total, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling, and Best Supporting Actress for America Ferrara, but the lack of a Best Actress nod for Robbie has resulted in a backlash against the academy.
Robbie, who comes from Queensland, Australia, has however since received some light-hearted support from local authorities.
Following the nominees announcement on Tuesday (January 23), Victoria Police wrote on Facebook: “POLICE INVESTIGATE AS MARGOT ROBBIED”.
“Police are investigating after a former resident of Ramsay Street was allegedly robbed of an Oscar nomination for best actress,” they wrote, referencing Robbie’s former role on the Australian soap Neighbours.
“We’d like to take this opportunity to remind all current residents of Ramsay Street and the rest of Victoria, to consider reporting any non-urgent crime, such as theft, via our online reporting tool,” they added. “It’s a convenient and easy way to submit a report with us any time of day.”

Barbie fans have also expressed outrage over the lack of a Best Director nod for Greta Gerwig. Both she and Robbie were expected to receive nominations in their respective categories, having done so at the majority of award ceremonies prior to the Oscars.
Ryan Gosling, who earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actor thanks to his performance as Ken, issued a statement expressing his disappointment at Gerwig and Robbie not being nominated for Best Director and Best Actress, respectively.
“No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement,” Gosling wrote.
“Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognised along with the other very deserving nominees. Having said that, I am so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to making this such a groundbreaking film.”
America Ferrara, who plays Gloria in Barbie and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, told Variety that it was “incredibly disappointing” to see Gerwig and Robbie’s names missing from the Best Director and Best Actress categories.
“Greta has done just about everything that a director could do to deserve it,” Ferrera said. “Creating this world, and taking something that didn’t have inherent value to most people and making it a global phenomenon. It feels disappointing to not see her on that list.”
Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg has argued that there is no such thing as Oscars “snubs”, saying: “Not everybody gets a prize.”

“The movies you love may not be loved by the people who are voting”
The post Whoopi Goldberg says Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie weren’t “snubbed” by Oscars: “Not everybody gets a prize” appeared first on NME.
Whoopi Goldberg has said there is no such thing as Oscars “snubs” amid the outrage over Greta Gerwig and Margot not being nominated for Best Director and Best Actress for Barbie.
Barbie earned a total of eight nominations for the 2024 ceremony, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress, but the shut-out for Gerwig and Robbie in the Best Director and Best Actress categories has resulted in a backlash against the Academy.
“The message of all of that is not lost on me, but one question I have — and maybe Whoopi is the only one that can answer this — when does it become a snub?” Sara Haines asked Goldberg on The View (via Entertainment Weekly). “I know the film, I know the greatness and the money, but that assumes someone else shouldn’t be in there.”
in response, Oscar-winner Goldberg said that “everybody doesn’t win” and “you don’t get everything you want to get.”
“There are no snubs,” said added. “That’s what you have to keep in mind: Not everybody gets a prize, and it is subjective. Movies are subjective. The movies you love may not be loved by the people who are voting.”
Due to Gerwig and Robbie being nominated for Best Director and Best Actress at the majority of award ceremonies prior to the Oscars, including the Golden Globes and Critic’s Choice Awards, many assumed that their Oscar nominations would be a forgone conclusion.
Ryan Gosling, who earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actor thanks to his performance as Ken, issued a statement expressing his disappointment at Gerwig and Robbie not being nominated for their respective categories.
“No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement,” Gosling wrote.
“Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognised along with the other very deserving nominees.

Hilary Clinton also weighed in, but her message of support for Gerwig and Robbie was promptly mocked by social media users.

“I should probably disappear from screens for a while’
The post Margot Robbie planning break from acting: “Everybody’s probably sick of me” appeared first on NME.
Margot Robbie has revealed that she may “disappear from screens” for a while because “everybody is probably sick” of the sight her.
In a new interview with Deadline, the actor and producer and spoke about the box office success of Barbie, but admitted it may be too soon for her to star in another movie, given that her face has been plastered on billboards worldwide for the past few months.
“Everyone’s like, ‘Are you having a break?’ And I’m like, ‘You do know I’m a producer, right? We don’t get a break,’” she said.
“I also think everyone’s probably sick of the sight of me for now. I should probably disappear from screens for a while.”
Robbie continued: “Honestly, if I did another movie too soon, people would say, ‘Her again? We just did a whole summer with her. We’re over it.’ I don’t know what I’ll do next, but I hope it’s a little while away.”
At the Golden Globes on Sunday night (January 7), Barbie received the first ever Cinematic and Box Office Achievement award, a category created to recognise films that both “garnered extensive global audience support and attained cinematic excellence”.
While Barbie only took home one award on the night, it was the highest-grossing film of 2023 and set various box office records. It also had more Golden Globes nominations than any other title (nine).
For the mean time, Robbie’s attention now looks set to turn to her production company LuckyChap, which she set up in 2014.
The company has produce films such as Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn and Promising Young Woman, as well the Suicide Squad spin-off Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn).

“Emerald immerses you into a world so quickly”
The post ‘Saltburn’ producer Margot Robbie wasn’t that shocked by the infamous bathtub scene appeared first on NME.
Margot Robbie has revealed that Saltburn‘s infamous bathtub scene “didn’t feel that shocking” to her when she read the script.
The Barbie star was one of the producers on Emerald Fennell’s divisive black comedy, which was recently released on Amazon Prime Video. Robbie’s production company LuckyChap Entertainment was also behind Fennell’s last film, 2020’s Promising Young Woman.
The scene in question sees Barry Keoghan’s disturbingly lustful Oliver Quick slurp water from a bath drain, just minutes after Jacob Elordi’s handsome aristocrat Felix Catton has finished pleasuring himself in the same tub.
Speaking to Variety about the scene, Robbie said: “It didn’t feel that shocking in the script, because Emerald immerses you into a world so quickly. She’s so masterful at tone and plot; she gets you into it so quickly — you’re just immediately like, ‘I’m in this world.’
“So by the time you get to something like the bathtub scene, she’s primed you for it. She’s got you. You’re, like, picking at a scab; you’re like, ‘I can’t help myself.’ Or like popping a pimple: ‘I know I shouldn’t squeeze but I’m gonna.’”
Robbie went on to say that she felt Fennell’s script was “intentionally disgusting and satisfying,” adding: “I think she wanted you to be equally as disgusted as you are titillated, and equally as shocked as you are by finding that depravity in yourself.
“She gets in your brain and she kind of taps into the most depraved parts of it, so that you’re complicit in the story. That’s the watercooler moment — the thing that people are talking about two weeks afterwards.”
In a four-star review of Saltburn, NME wrote: ‘Fennell’s rich tapestry gradually unravels, and we lurch, bow tie askew, half-empty bottle of Dom Pérignon clutched in one hand, towards a gripping finale. Saltburn isn’t the most talked-about party of the year, but you shouldn’t miss it all the same.”
Elsewhere, a recent TikTok trend has seen many social media users mock rich people for “missing the point” of Saltburn.
