The Oscars Have Fixed Their Mistake: Ryan Gosling Is Now Nominated for “Best Actress”

Well, the fans have spoken, and the Oscars have heard! The Academy has officially apologized for their mistake of not including “Barbie” in the category for “Best Actress,” and have rectified the issue by replacing Lily Gladstone with Ryan Gosling.

This is an historic moment for the award ceremony, as it marks the first time that anyone has ever been nominated for both “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” for the same film. Talk about a #SnyderCut moment from fans!

“This is so embarrassing. Thank you so much for everyone who pointed out this issue. Here’s to Ryan and his incredible work as Ken. You’re not Just Ken anymore — you’re a two-time Oscar nominee!” said the Oscars in a statement posted to social media today. “Margo and Gerta did such an incredible job setting the stage for Ryan’s awesome performance and it was a delight to watch on the screen.”

According to those familiar with the situation, the fan outcry on social media was part of the decision, but the final straw that broke the camel’s back was a phone call from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama urging the Academy to reconsider. This marks Obama’s third win in the “Phone Call” category following the 2020 election and potential NBA strikes.

But while this victory is so important, we must also remember that it’s only a small step towards true gender equality in Hollywood. With enough hard work, and enough grit, we can still push the Academy to remove Justine Triet from the “Best Director” nominees and replace her with Noah Baumbach, who apparently helped Gerwig with “Barbie.”
