Ryan Gosling, a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee for “Barbie,” released a statement on Tuesday expressing gratitude for the recognition — while also pointedly criticizing the Academy for its omissions of director Greta Gerwig and actress Margot Robbie.

“There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film,” his statement read.

He continued, “No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.”
