“Barbie” was not “Kenough” for the Brits. 

The nominations for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards — the BAFTAs — were released Thursday, but missing from the best film category was Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie’s .

The roster instead included prestige favorites such as “,” “,” “,” “” and Cannes Palme d’Or winner “Anatomy of a Fall,” all of which are expected to be announced as Best Picture Oscar nominees on Jan. 23.

“Oppenheimer,” which was the most-nominated film with 13 mentions, maintains its coveted spot as the movie to beat at the Oscars after big wins at the and Critics Choice Awards.

“Barbie” wasn’t totally given the old heave-ho, though.

The film received five nods: Actress (Robbie), supporting actor (Ryan Gosling), original screenplay, costume design and production design. 

But, in another snuberoo, Gerwig was also left off the best director list.

Her film is nonetheless widely expected to be among the 10 Best Picture Oscar nominees and score a large number of nominations thanks to its design elements and popular soundtrack.

Regardless, “Barbie” probably won’t win very much.

Yes, Billie Eilish and Finneas will likely emerge victorious in the Best Song category for “What Was I Made For?” But poor Gosling (“Oppenheimer”).

Robbie is well behind Emma Stone (“Poor Things”) and Lily Gladstone (“Killer of the Flower Moon”).

And the Best Adapted Screenplay race at the Oscars is stacked with formidable opponents such as “Oppenheimer,” “Flower Moon” and “Poor Things.

Oscar chances for the movie have always been slim, despite solid nomination showings at lead-up award shows and a “For Your Consideration” screening in New York with a Q&A moderated by Academy Award nominee Tony Kushner.

In any case, Gerwig and Robbie should be consoled by the $1.4 billion their movie grossed at the worldwide box office.

“I was so confused and insecure. Because I thought I was beautiful. So many people told me I was beautiful. Who am I? I feel like a vase shattered across the ground, and left there in the alleyway. A chandelier that was cut from the ceiling, and then all the people left the house. I can’t imagine on this day, what it would feel like to recover. Am I allowed to be this sad? Am I allowed to lay on the ground in a heap and wail? I want to have hands again, and legs. I want to smile. I want to believe that I can. But again, I want to be sad for the rest of time. I want to wear my sadness in long strands. I want to lay on the ocean floor and weep stalactites. For a hundred years. A tree has fallen onto my chest. The sky is spinning, and it won’t slow down. I don’t want to feel any of this.” A excerpt of an untitled essay from NIGHTBIRDE The NIGHTBIRDE book “Poems for the dark” should be available for presale soon. We hope Jane’s words make you all feel less alone in your human experience. Photo by Jacqueline Day #nightbirde #poetry #essay #poem #nightbird #agt #itsOk #inspire #hope #faith #cancerJourney
