"Director who SAVED cinema and no nod" - Andy Roddick's wife Brooklyn Decker furious as Oscar snubs Barbie's Greta Grewig and Margot Robbie

Andy Roddick’s wife Brooklyn Decker has vented her frustration at Greta Grewig not being nominated for best director at the Oscars for her critically-acclaimed global box office hit "Barbie."

The movie has received eight nominations, including for Ryan Gosling, who portrayed the character "Ken," in the best supporting actor category. However, there has been an outcry over Grewig and Margot Robbie not being nominated in the best director and lead actress categories respectively.

Decker expressed her dismay by sharing a picture of a quote on her Instagram Story. She wrote:

"The problem in this industry is if it’s not “serious” it’s not taken seriously. It’s stunning when you consider that most humans just want to be able to enjoy beauty, life, and maybe have a laugh along the way. The director who SAVED the cinema and no nod. Just ugh.”
