Ever gracious, Hillary Clinton has posted a nice consolation note to Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie over their not being nominated for Oscars.
Clinton knows what it’s like to lose an election but be vindicated in the end. Gerwig and Robbie are wildly rich because of “Barbie” and their movie will last forever. That does take the sting of out of yesterday.
I still feel that the international voting bloc of the Academy had more to do with the nominations than outright sexism. Gerwig has been nominated for Best Director before, for “Ladybird.” She is loved and respected. Robbie, on the other hand, is taken for granted. She deserves a special award for all her hard work.
