Hillary Clinton reassured Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie that they are “more than Kenough” after the pair didn’t receive expected Oscar nominations for their roles in “Barbie.”
“While it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold, your millions of fans love you,” the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee
wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, to Gerwig and Robbie. “You’re both so much more than Kenough,” Clinton wrote, referencing a phrase from the summer blockbuster focused on female empowerment.
The highest-grossing film of 2023 received eight Academy Award nominations, including one for Ryan Gosling in the best supporting actor category for his role as Ken. Gerwig, while getting a nomination for best adapted screenplay, was passed over for best director. Robbie did not receive a best actress nod for her role as the titular character.
