“11 nominations for Poor Things feels like a surreal dream,” the actress, who previously won the award for La La Land in 2016, said in a statement. “I am beyond grateful to the Academy for including me as both an actress and producer among this group of exceptional nominees and for recognizing our film in so many categories.”Â
In addition to congratulating the fellow nominees for the Yorgos Lanthimos film, she expressed her gratitude for the experience playing her unique character.
“I am forever thankful for the opportunity to play Bella and see the world through her eyes,” she continued. “She has shown me that life is so much more than just sugar and violence. And to Lily [Gladstone], Carey [Mulligan], Sandra [Hüller], and Annette [Bening]. It’s the biggest honor just to be in your company.”
And although Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were snubbed for Oscars nominations, Barbie has dominated through award season—with the film itself earning a Best Picture nod.Â
In fact, at the Golden Globes Jan. 7, Barbie took home the brand-new award for Cinematic Box Office Achievement—beating out Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour film and Oppenheimer—as well as Best Original Song for Billie Eilish‘s “What Was I Made For?”
