In a statement to CBS, the BBC’s US media partner, Gosling said: “I am extremely honoured to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films”. At the same time, the Canadian actor described Gerwig and Robbie as “the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally-celebrated film”.”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.”Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad, and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognised along with the other very deserving nominees.However, Gosling added that he was “so happy” for actor America Ferrera – who was nominated for best supporting actress – as well as the other “incredible artists who contributed their talents to making this such a groundbreaking film.”Image source, Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic via Getty ImagesImage caption, Barbie’s America Ferrera, who was seen as an outside bet, scored a nomination for best supporting actressThe American actress also said she was “incredibly disappointed” Gerwig and Robbie were not recognised in the major nomination categories.Overall, the Barbie film received eight nominations, including for best picture.Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer – another huge box office success – leads the field with 13 nominations.

Mr Biden is skipping the primary, as the Democratic Party decided South Carolina should be first to vote.New Hampshire has refused to move its primary, causing the party to strip it of its delegates. Mr Biden is banking on a write-in effort to stave off the potential embarrassment of a shock loss to Dean Phillips, a Democratic congressman.The Republican primary has soaked up much of the attention, but the Democratic one is trundling on as well despite a major party disagreement and a lack of delegates for the winner.The Granite State has long been the first primary in the nation, but the Democratic National Committee elected to have South Carolina go first in 2024. They said that the southern state’s diverse population was more reflective of the country. But New Hampshire did not move its primary – it is bound by its state constitution to be first – which caused it to lose its delegates. Mr Biden also chose to follow the party’s decision and did not register as a result.Image source, ReutersImage caption, Dean Phillips, a Minnesota Democrat, is challenging Joe BidenThat has left the US president potentially vulnerable to losing to Mr Phillips, a Minnesota congressman who has chosen to self-fund a challenge of Mr Biden.Mr Phillips maintains that Mr Biden, 81, is a “weak candidate” who may very well lose against Donald Trump in the fall. “I’m just afraid that Democrats are sleepwalking into disaster,” Mr Phillips, 55, told the BBC. “We did it in 2016. It is unforgivable and shameful to do the same thing knowingly this year.”A long-time moderate, Mr Phillips came to office in 2019. As the heir to his stepfather’s Phillips Distilling Company empire, which owns major schnapps and liquor brands, he is one of the wealthiest members of Congress.He has tapped into that wealth in New Hampshire.Mr Phillips has spent more than $5m on ads in the state, according to ad-tracking firm AdImpact. Mr Biden, meanwhile, has only spent $156,000.Image source, ReutersImage caption, Motivational speaker Marianne Williamson is another contender in New Hampshire’s Democratic primaryThe president’s allies have not given up on New Hampshire totally, however.There is an effort for voters to write Mr Biden’s name in on their ballots, which could lead to a win.Polling by CNN and the University of New Hampshire published on Sunday suggests that the president enjoys a formidable lead, despite the curious circumstances. The survey showed that 63% of likely Democratic primary voters intend to write in Mr Biden’s name. But Mr Phillips is not the only Democratic challenger. Marianne Williamson, 71, an author and motivational speaker, is another longshot contender in the New Hampshire primary. A simple guide to the US 2024 electionThere is also an effort by activists for Democrats to write “ceasefire” on their ballots instead of the president’s name, because of Mr Biden’s support for Israel.While none of the candidates will receive delegates from campaigning in New Hampshire, which they need to win the nomination, the apparent strategy is to show that Mr Biden is weak among voters and the party needs to shift to another candidate. “Most Americans understand that democracy thrives with competition, and it dies with coronations,” Mr Phillips said, echoing a line used by Republican candidate Nikki Haley. “This is not about condemning someone [and] taking him down. This is about running for something. And I wish more Democrats would do so.”Related TopicsDemocratic PartyUS election 2024New HampshireUS politicsUnited StatesJoe BidenTop StoriesLive.
