“To say that I'm disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement," said Gosling about Gerwig, 40, and Robbie, 33 after they missed out on respective nominations for Best Director and Best Actress.

While Gosling said he was “extremely honored to be nominated,” the dad of two added that there is “no Ken without Barbie. And there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie.”

Just hours after the nominations had been announced on Tuesday, Ferrera — who was herself nominated for Best Supporting Actress — had already revealed she was “incredibly disappointed” her fellow female colleagues did not also receive mentions.

Speaking to Variety, the Gloria actress said: “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.”
