Margot Robbie finally opened up about the much-in-news Oscars snub for her and director Greta Gerwig for their parts in the globally successful film Barbie. Both Margot Robbie and Greta didn’t earn a nod for their film at the Oscars this year. However, the film managed to earn eight nods, including the coveted Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.&nbsp;

<h2>This is what Margot Robbie said about the Oscars snub</h2>

It was during a SAG-AFTRA discussion that Margot was asked about the Best Actress Oscars snub and the outrage around it. Addressing the controversy around it, Margot said, “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed,” before adding that she is more upset about Greta’s non-inclusion.&nbsp;

Margot said, “Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as a director. What she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing. What she pulled off, it really is. But it’s been an incredible year for all the films.”

The actress, who was applauded by fans and critics alike for her role as the Mattel doll in the film Barbie, added that despite all this, she was “beyond ecstatic” with the film’s eight Oscar nominations. She said, “Everyone getting the nods that they’ve had is just incredible, and the best picture nod. We set out to do something that would shift culture, affect culture, just make some sort of impact. And it’s already done that and some, way more than we ever dreamed it would. And that is truly the biggest reward that could come out of all of this.”

<h2>The movie has shifted culture: Margot</h2>

“People’s reactions to the movie have been the biggest reward of this entire experience,” she continued. “Whether it’s seeing what people are writing online, or even just seeing how much pink I can see in this room right now…I’ve never been a part of something like this. Not like this. I’ve done comic book stuff and that gets a big reaction, but this felt very different. It still feels very different. And I can’t think of a time when a movie has had this effect on culture. And it’s amazing to be in the eye of the storm.”

When the Oscars nominations were announced, the most notable omissions in the list were Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig (from Best Actress and Best Director lists). This followed backlash against The Academy jury on social media where people dissed them for not including their names.

Bradley Cooper, overlooked by the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lady-gaga-and-bradley-cooper-will-perform-at-the-oscars-194509">Oscars this year</a> in the Best Director category for his maiden directorial effort 'A Star Is Born', says he feels "embarrassed" by the<a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/oscars-snub-bradley-cooper-as-director-beale-street-as-best-picture-192196"> snub</a>.

The 44-year-old actor was in discussion with Oprah Winfrey on her 'SuperSoul Conversations' on Tuesday, where he opened about the snub, saying it took him a while to overcome the disappointment.

"I was not surprised, I'm never surprised about not getting nominated... I was embarrassed. I was at a coffee shop in New York City and looked down at my phone and Nicole (Caruso, his publicist) has told me congratulations and said what we had been nominated for.&nbsp;

According to Entertainment Weekly, the actor revealed that his team refrained from telling him the "bad news". After hearing it, he felt "embarrassed that I didn't do my part".

When asked why he felt that way, <a href="http://www.wionews.com/entertainment/watch-bradley-cooper-joins-lady-gaga-on-stage-for-an-impromptu-duet-of-shallow-during-her-vegas-concert-193719">Cooper </a>said, "I felt embarrassed that I didn't do my part. Like, Oh gosh, I didn't do my job."

But in hindsight, Cooper believes that an award nomination should not be a parameter of judging one's work.

"The truth is, even if I got the nomination, that should not give me any sense of whether I did my job or not. That's the trick. The trick is to make something you believe in and you work hard," he said.

"The only thing I set out to do was to tap into as an authentic place as possible -- in myself and everybody I asked to make this movie -- to tell a human story of people who are going to deal with their family life, trauma as a child, addiction in a real way, love in this life and finding your voice," he added.

'A Star Is Born' has received a total of eight Oscar nominations, including best picture and best actor for Cooper, best actress for Lady Gaga and supporting actor for and Sam Elliott.&nbsp;

I felt embarrassed: Bradley Cooper on Oscars' Best Director snub

They may be the most money-minting films at the box office, but superhero movies have not managed to make it big at the Oscars and Joe Russo believes the "stigma" attached to the genre is responsible for the snub.

Joe, along with his brother Anthony Russo, has helmed blockbuster Marvel films "The Winter Soldier", "Captain America: Civil War", the upcoming "Avengers: Infinity War"&nbsp;and its sequel. The director said it is unfortunate that the genre is ignored in major categories but he understands the Academy's intention of highlighting movies which are unable to grab the attention they deserve.

"The Oscars in a way help support movies that haven't got a lot of attention or deserve more attention. Superhero movies actually don't require a lot more attention. But I do feel it has been unfortunate that superhero films haven't been included in main categories. There is a stigma towards the films. We are making these movies because we are trying to tell the best stories we can and we have a lot of incredible fans whom we want to satisfy with our storytelling. Our direct connection is with the fans," Joe said.&nbsp;

The director says superhero movies have more to them then just "saving the world" and through their films, they always try to deliver a relevant message. "I grew up a comic book fan and a movie fan. I like movies with thematics and I like the complicated, rich storytelling. I want to go and see films. And if there is something deeper I could pull out of it, I do it. For us, it is very important to have dimensions in our stories. The theme of this movie ('Infinity War') is also relevant. It is about what it costs to be a hero in a complicated world and to see value of the cost. And, all the heroes have to answer that question. That is something the audience will relate to," he said.

Joe said, with "Infinity War", they have again tried to do something different by telling the story of the villain - Thanos, not the heroes. "It was important for us to make Thanos, who has just been a guy sitting on a chair with few cameos... More dimensionalised and complicated. It was important for us to make the audience feel the anger and empathy towards him at the same time. And we try to make these movies different from each other."

"People will understand when they see the movie. For us, the hero is only as good as the villain. What Thanos is bringing to the film is so intense. The cost heroes will pay is so much. This is something fans will see for the first time in a Marvel film. It is his moment to shine. It is his story," he said.

Starring Robert Downey Jr, Benedict Cumberbatch, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Don Cheadle, Tom Holland, Chadwick Boseman, Paul Bettany, Elizabeth Olsen, Karen Gillian, Anthony Mackie, Sebastian Stan, Danai Gurira, Letitia Wright, Dave Bautista, Zoe Saldana and Chris Pratt, the film releases on April 27.
