Greta Gerwig has finally weighed in on the Oscar nominations controversy surrounding her film “Barbie.” Although the snub for Best Director was a disappointment, Gerwig expressed gratitude for the recognition in the Adapted Screenplay category. She acknowledged the disappointment over Margot Robbie’s omission for Best Actress but emphasized her happiness in sharing the Oscar experience with the team.
Despite the sentiments of Gerwig and Robbie, both conveyed positivity and appreciation for the overall success of “Barbie,” receiving eight Oscar nominations. Robbie, in particular, celebrated the film’s impact on culture and its achievement beyond their initial expectations.
Looking forward, Gerwig shared insights into her upcoming projects, particularly her adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ “Chronicles of Narnia” for Netflix. Surprisingly, she had already completed a draft of a “Narnia” film before the production of “Barbie” commenced, showcasing her dedication to storytelling.
In discussing her approach to “Narnia,” Gerwig highlighted her admiration for Lewis’ writing style and the dreamlike quality of the Narnian world. She expressed a desire to honor the rich folklore and tradition while embracing the paradoxical elements that make Lewis’ creation compelling.
Gerwig’s remarks reflect resilience and commitment to her craft, demonstrating an unwavering passion and creativity that continues to captivate audiences and shape cinematic landscapes with her unique vision.
