However, to everyone&#8217;s surprise, the leading man in the film managed to secure a nomination.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cSo in easily the funniest story of the\u2063 day, \u2018Barbie,\u2019 which, as you \u200cknow,\u2064 I loved,\u201d he joked, \u201cI thought it was an amazing film \u2014 by which\u200d I think it was absolutely overrated,\u2064 trash, was unwatchable. I think that people who say they like it are lying.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro didn&#8217;t \u200dhold back his opinions, comparing\u200d the movie to the works of Michael Moore\u200b and criticizing its nonsensical plot and poor writing.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cNow, this \u2064is hilarious,\u201d he laughed.  \u201cIt was\u2064 nominated for Best Picture. I\u200c know what you guys are doing. The film made\u200c a\u2063 ton of money and all the critics \u200dpretended they loved it because they had to.\u2063 So it was nominated for Best\u2063 Picture. Okay, fine. That\u2019s stupid.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">While\u200c Ryan Gosling, who portrayed Ken, received a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, and America Ferrera was recognized in \u2064the Best Supporting Actress category for\u200d her speech on the \u2063challenges faced by women, \u200cShapiro pointed out \u200bthat Margot Robbie, who played Barbie, and the acclaimed director Greta Gerwig \u2063were\u2062 not nominated.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWho\u2019s the greatest?\u201d he joked. \u201cWe all\u2062 love all \u200bof her work because \u200cshe\u2019s\u200d the greatest director who\u2019s ever directed and because everything she says is wise and brilliant and she\u2019s so wise. She was not nominated\u2063 either. \u201c<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">With a touch of sarcasm, \u200bShapiro highlighted the irony of the\u2062 situation, \u200dsuggesting that even in a movie aimed at criticizing the patriarchy, the power of \u200cthe patriarchy still prevailed. He playfully predicted that\u200b the film\u2064 &#8220;Oppenheimer&#8221; would triumph over &#8220;Barbie&#8221; in the\u200b Best \u2064Picture\u2062 category, emphasizing his disdain\u200c for \u2063the \u200dlatter.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI\u2019m rooting very, very hard \u200bfor Ryan Gosling\u2062 to win for Barbie because the funniest possible outcome for\u2064 the\u200d movie Barbie would \u200cbe for Ken to \u2062win the only award. I\u2019m there for it. I love that the Academy \u200caccidentally did\u2063 this and \u200ceven \u200dmore, I want only Ken from the \u200bBarbie movie to win. Those \u2062are my demands. I\u2064 want it to lose every other category but\u2063 only the men\u2062 win. Not \u200beven because I care, but because it\u200c would be hilarious. It\u2019d be super hilarious if the patriarchy ends \u2064up winning in a movie made about how terrible\u200c the patriarchy supposedly is,\u201d he\u200d concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What humorous \u200baspect\u2064 about\u2064 the film&#8217;s leading man \u200cdoes Shapiro find despite\u200c his scathing review?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  T-weight: 400&#8243;>\u201c\u200dIt was just \u2063unreal.\u200d I\u2062 mean, the \u2064plot made absolutely no sense. \u200dIt\u2063 was\u200c all about \u2062this Barbie doll who was trying to challenge the patriarchy or something like that. Like, come on, give me \u2064a break. And\u2063 the writing, oh boy, \u2062don&#8217;t even get me started. It was like \u2064they \u200bjust threw a \u200cbunch of clich\u00e9s and\u200d stereotypes together and called \u2063it a script. I&#8217;ve seen better writing on the back\u2064 of a cereal\u200b box.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite his \u2062scathing review, Shapiro couldn&#8217;t help but\u200c find\u2063 humor\u200b in the fact \u2062that the leading man in the \u200cfilm, who played the \u2062love interest\u2062 of\u200b the protagonist Barbie, received a nomination \u200cfor\u2063 Best Actor.\u2063<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c\u200dI mean, you&#8217;ve got to give the guy credit.\u2063 He really nailed the role of &#8216;Ken&#8217; or\u2063 whatever they called him. But seriously, Best Actor? It just goes to show you how \u200bridiculous these \u2064<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cardi-b-serves-up-vulgar-performance-at-grammys-media-praises-her-for-sex-positive-production-female-empowerment-video\/\" title=\"Cardi B Serves Up Vulgar Performance at Grammys \u2013 Media Praises Her For \u201cSex-Positive\u201d Production, \u201cFemale Empowerment\u201d (VIDEO)\">award shows<\/a> \u2062can be. They&#8217;ll nominate anyone for anything these days.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shapiro&#8217;s sarcastic take on the Academy\u2063 \u200bAward nominations for &#8220;Barbie&#8221; highlights the potential bias \u200dand questionable \u2064decisions that sometimes occur in the film industry.\u2062 While \u200dsome films that aim to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/hunter-biden-hit-with-9-new-criminal-charges\/\" title=\"Hunter Biden faces 9 fresh criminal charges\">tackle important social issues<\/a>\u2064 may not receive recognition\u2063 in relevant categories, others may \u200breceive nominations that seem out \u2062of place. This raises questions about the overall integrity \u200band credibility of award shows.\u2063\u2063<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite his humorous commentary, \u2064Shapiro&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/issa-slams-unprecedented-anti-semitism-in-democratic-party\/\" title=\"Issa Slams Unprecedented Anti-Semitism in Democratic Party\">remarks bring attention<\/a> to the importance of recognizing films for their artistic merit and meaningful \u200cstorytelling, \u200brather than solely\u200c focusing on predetermined expectations \u200cor agendas.\u200b His <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pelosi-accuses-fellow-dems-of-sexism-for-calling-on-senile-senator-to-resign\/\" title=\"Pelosi Accuses Fellow Dems of Sexism for Calling on Senile Senator To Resign\">comments shed light<\/a> on the need for a fair and balanced approach to awarding excellence in the film \u2063industry. Whether it be a comedy or \u200ba drama, a film should \u2064be evaluated based\u2062 on its quality and impact, rather than conforming to certain societal expectations.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In conclusion, Ben Shapiro&#8217;s amusing\u200b take on the \u2063Academy\u200b \u200bAward \u200dnominations for the film &#8220;Barbie&#8221; draws attention to the potential \u2063bias and questionable decisions that can arise in the film industry. While his comments may be presented in a comedic manner, they highlight the need \u200bfor\u200b a fair and balanced \u200dapproach to \u2063recognizing excellence \u200cin filmmaking. By focusing on \u200cthe artistic merit and impact of a film rather than adhering \u200bto predetermined \u2063expectations, award\u200d shows can maintain their integrity and\u2062 credibility.\u2063\u2063<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2023 Academy Award nominations were revealed on Tuesday.
