WASHINGTON, DC: The Oscar nominations for the movie 'Barbie' have sparked controversy, particularly with Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig snub. This has triggered widespread outrage on social media, drawing attention from internet users celebrities, and politicians, including Hillary Clinton.

The former First Lady recently addressed the issue in a tweet, amplifying the public outcry.

Hillary's tweet comes amidst her return to the public eye in New York City, marking her first appearance since the unsealing of court documents detailing her husband Bill Clinton's alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender.

Robbie and Gerwig snub at the Oscars has not only incited online backlash but has also elicited responses from their 'Barbie' co-star, Ryan Gosling. Gosling expressed disappointment in a statement, asserting that both Robbie and Gerwig deserved nominations. However, internet users questioned his sincerity and urged him not to attend the Oscars.

Contrary to the prevailing sentiment, Whoopi Goldberg has offered a different perspective, stating that Robbie and Gerwig were not snubbed at the Oscars. The differing opinions on this matter continue to fuel discussions and debates.
