“Here's the deal: Everybody doesn't win,” Goldberg said on Wednesday's episode of “The View.”“. “They're not disrespectful. That's kind of what I want to point out.”
Goldberg knows a thing or two about the Academy Awards, having won for her role in the 1990 classic, The Messenger reported. ghost. She's also one of the few people who can call themselves an EGOT, having won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony Award.

Gosling subsequently issued a statement saying he was “disappointed” they were not nominated, adding that “there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making and globally celebrated film.”
Alyssa Farrah Griffin, co-host of The View, who previously worked in Donald Trump's administration, praised Gosling for speaking out.

'#Hillary Barbie'
This came after Clinton issued a truly ridiculous statement aimed at placating Gerwig and Ruby over their snub.
“Even though it may hurt to win at the box office but fall short of the gold, your millions of fans love you,” Clinton began with “Greta & Margot.”
“You two are so much more than Kenov,” she continued, borrowing a phrase from the film. She concluded her post by adding the nauseating hashtag “#HillaryBarbie.”
The meltdown Clinton and other liberal elites experienced over Gerwig and Robbie's Oscar snub shows once again how out of touch they are with reality. It's not often that we agree with Goldberg, but this time, she was right!
