It may have been among the highest-grossing films of 2023, but <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/margot-robbie-says-in-barbie-land-its-the-opposite-women-barbies-run-everything-23298422" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Margot Robbie</a>-led Barbie failed to earn nominations in both Best Film and Best Director category.&nbsp;
Soon after the 2024 BAFTA nominations were announced yesterday, &nbsp;chatter around Greta Gerwig&rsquo;s cultural phenomenon &nbsp;being sidelined, grew loud.&nbsp;
&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no such thing as expected at BAFTA,&rdquo; responded Anna Higgs, chair of BAFTA&rsquo;s film committee, while speaking to Variety following the announcement. &ldquo;I think to play a guessing game with our expert members and where they can go, particularly in a year that&rsquo;s so competitive, is really hard.&rdquo;
While the film earned five nominations, including in the acting categories, it lost to <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/hollywood-news/article/oppenheimer-and-poor-things-lead-the-race-for-britains-bafta-film-awards-nomination-list-barbie-23330611" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Oppenheimer</a>, which earned 13 nominations, and Killers of the Flower Moon, which will contend for nine titles.&nbsp;
Only one female director, Justine Triet (for Anatomy of a Fall), bagged a place in the direction category. &nbsp;Higgs, however, pointed to research that showed that, of the top 100 grossing films of 2023, only 12 were directed by women.&nbsp;
