The blockbuster “Barbie” received eight Oscar nominations this week, including a coveted one for best picture. Pretty good, right? Of course not. In fact, it's hugely offensive. To sum up the internet’s truly nutty response: How insulting and demeaning. The patriarchy strikes again! This film that’s grossed $1.4 billion at the box office has been egregiously robbed by our unfair system. The pink mob’s deafening whine comes from the fact that despite the doll film’s healthy haul of nods, it failed to secure any for best actress (Margot Robbie) and best director (Greta Gerwig).
