Director Greta Gerwig and actress Margot Robbie, the women who helped make Barbie the runaway box office success of 2023, failed to land directing and lead actress Oscar nominations on Tuesday.

Leonardo DiCaprio, the lead actor in director Martin Scorsese's Killers Of The Flower Moon, was passed over by Hollywood's film academy in that category.
