New Delhi: Malayalam actor Parvathy has applauded Ryan Gosling for speaking out for Barbie’s director Greta Gerwig and actor Margot Robbie after they were not nominated for 2024 Academy Awards. Ryan, who is nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Ken in the film, released a statement expressing his disappointment for the same
Parvathy took to her social media and shared Ryan’s statement and wrote, “And then there are allies like Ryan Gosling.”
She further wrote, “This made me ache because there are no Ryan Goslings here. Here, no matter the talent, no matter the contribution–woman who speak up and know their value will be avoided like plague. Replaced with ‘less problematic people’. Problematic for them, because how else can they benefit from the inequality, if challenged.” She added, “But I am happy some woman knows what it’s like to have allies who use their power and voice to elevate those who are truly deserving.”
Ryan had said in his statement: “I am extremely honoured to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films. And I never thought I’d be saying this, but I’m also incredibly honoured and proud that it’s for portraying a plastic doll named Ken.”
"But there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no ‘Barbie’ movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. " he added.
"To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement. 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," he added.
"I am so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to making this such a groundbreaking film,” he said.
The film has amassed a total of eight nominations, including two nods in the best original song category.
