On Jan. 23, America Ferrera had a major career triumph – she scored her first Oscar nomination ever, for her role in Barbie. She also didn’t waste time opening up about her nomination, as well as how she feels about the film’s star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig being snubbed in their respective categories.
In the record-breaking film, America played Gloria, one of the few human and non-doll characters. She’s nominated for Best Supporting Actor alongside Emily Blunt for Oppenheimer, Danielle Brooks for The Color Purple, Jodie Foster for Nyad, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph for The Holdovers. America told Variety the same day the nominations were announced that she was in bed when she heard the news and it took her a moment to make sure she’d heard them correctly. “I still haven’t really been able to get in my feelings because I’m still on like the top layer of ‘I can’t even believe that this is real,’” America told Variety. According to her, her husband soon called to congratulate her and give her the news.America explained it was extremely difficult for her during the scene when the mother has to drop her children off at school. “He was screaming and emotional. And I just heard my kids in the back, like so confused. ‘What are you screaming about?’” she said.

She expressed how she was “disappointed that they weren’t nominated,” and that Greta „has done just about everything that a director could do to deserve it. 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.”

She added that Margot, America noted she her costar made a “truly unbelievable” achievement in her roll as the iconic plastic doll. “One of the things about Margot as an actress is how easy she makes everything look. And perhaps people got fooled into thinking that the work seems easy, but Margot is a magician as an actress in front of the screen, and it was one of the honors of my career to get to witness her pull off the amazing performance she did. »xa0…
