No one is living in a Barbie World over in the United Kingdom tonight … ’cause “Barbie” just got shut out at the British Academy Film Awards.
The biggest blockbuster of last summer was up for five awards at the show Sunday — Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay along with a couple other design awards.
Unfortunately, the film’s creators are walking away without a single one — going 0-for-5 at the ceremony that’s usually a pretty good indication of the way Academy Awards voters are gonna lean.
“Barbie” isn’t the only awards season darling that got snubbed tonight BTW … Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” lost all nine of its nominations while “Maestro” didn’t win one of its seven awards.
But, the “Barbie” snubs feel the most significant … given the firestorm that popped off after Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie weren’t nominated for Best Director and Best Actress respectively.
Remember … everyone from random X users to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton chimed in on “Barbie” not receiving those particular nominations.
Margot later broke her silence on Greta’s snub … even more poignant since GG was left off the nomination list for the BAFTAs as well.

“Barbie” is up for eight Oscars at this year’s ceremony … hopefully for fans, the movie has better luck there.
