Margot Robbie Recalls Touching Off-Screen Oscars Moment With Fellow Nominees
On January 24, Riz Ahmed and Allison Williams announced the highly anticipated nominees for the 2023 Academy Awards, per Vogue. While the nominations were stacked with talent, there were a few actors and films that were snubbed by the organization, including Margot Robbie and her performances in “Amsterdam” and “Babylon.” Despite not receiving a nomination for the upcoming festivities, Robbie has continued to express her gratitude for the Oscars. During her recent interview with Elle UK, the “Birds of Prey” star reflected on a sweet moment she shared with her fellow 2018 Best Actress nominees.
“There was a moment like five years ago when I was nominated for ‘I, Tonya’ and Frances McDormand won, and she had all the other nominees stand up,” she recalled. “She was like, ‘I want you all to stand up.’ And we stood up, and then as soon as it cut to an ad break, it was Meryl, Sasha, Sally, me, we went together and hugged and held onto each other.” Robbie went on to say that the “special” moment was “better than winning.” Even though the “Terminal” star is not up for an award this Oscar season, she certainly has an array of upcoming releases to occupy her time, including the highly anticipated Greta Gerwig film, “Barbie.”
