Awards season is in full swing, with Hollywood blockbusters taking centre stage at the 2024 Oscars.
'Barbie' and 'Oppenheimer' made the shortlist for Best Picture, and both films have 8 and 13 nominations respectively.
However, 'Barbie' director Greta Gerwig, and lead actress Margot Robbie, have missed out on nods.
LA correspondent Sean Mandell says it's strange that Ryan Gosling got nominated for his role as Ken while Gerwig and Robbie got snubbed.
"They are getting awards love, and the film itself is getting love- but it's strange that Ken is getting a nomination in a movie called 'Barbie'."
