Margot Robbie, a native of Queensland, is the lead actor and producer of 'Barbie', which has received eight nominations in other categories at Oscars 2024.
The nominations for the 96th Academy Awards were announced recently and the internet was upset after actor Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig did not receive nominations for their work in 'Barbie'. Moments after the nominations were announced, social media exploded with comments about how the two were "snubbed by the Academy for Best Director and Actress." To make things lighter, a local Australian police department shared a joke and said that they are "investigating" after the Australian actress was "robbed" of a Best Actress nomination at the 2024 Oscars.
Ms Robbie, a native of Queensland, is the film's lead and producer. 'Barbie' has received eight nominations in other categories and made over $1 billion at the box office globally.
Victoria Police took to Facebook and wrote, "POLICE INVESTIGATE AS MARGOT ROBBIED: Police are investigating after a former resident of Ramsay Street was allegedly robbed of an Oscar nomination for best actress. We'd like to take this opportunity to remind all current residents of Ramsay Street and the rest of Victoria, to consider reporting any non-urgent crime, such as theft, via our online reporting tool."
