    Being based on a doll really hurt Barbie at the Oscars. Although the film was nominated for best picture, Greta Gerwig was snubbed as director and Margot Robbie left out of the best actress category, omissions that caused a flood of outrage on the internet and from their colleagues. The Associated Press called Gerwig’s snub “one of the biggest shocks in recent memory”. Some fans took it out on Ken. As USA Today pointed out, quoting a user on X, Ryan Gosling being nominated for supporting actor while Gerwig and Robbie were left out “kind of proves the point of the movie”, that the patriarchy is still with us. Gosling, Ken himself, said in a statement: “There is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film”.

    The film industry’s lingering sexism may have been a factor, but that only contributed to the fundamental problem. Despite that best picture nod, Oscar voters refused to take the toy-based film seriously, ignoring how inventive it is, dismissing it as a billion-dollar popcorn movie when it is also a funny, subversive cultural statement.

Leia um trecho da crônica “Growing Up in the Digital Age” para responder à questão.

 

    Growing up, teachers have always told me to be careful and “not believe everything you read on the Internet”. While I am considered a “90’s kid” despite being born three days before the start of the new millennium, I also grew up in the age of smartphones, computers, and, most importantly, the Internet.

    However, before I get to how technology greatly changed my life, let’s go back to the day when I first came into this world, in a hospital not too far from my home in Tianjin, China.

    My brief childhood there was extensively documented through pictures and pixelated home videos as I would be immigrating to Canada when I turned three. My parents wanted me to be able to look back when I was older and remember how we celebrated Chinese traditions and holidays.

    Life was simpler back then; I would spend most of my time playing with wooden blocks, digging holes in the sand, and going with my parents to get popsicles from the local convenience store.

    Upon coming to Canada, I realized that my life was going to be significantly different than in China. Coming home back from school, I would sit in front of the old chunky boxed television and watch Pokémon. I remember getting my first Nintendo Gameboy Color and having only one game to play because my parents didn’t want it to rot my brain.

    Fast Forward to now, technology and social media play a huge role in my daily life. Especially during quarantine, most of my time is spent keeping up with the latest news updates, checking in with friends and family across the world, and staying at home watching Netflix.
