#Barbie #Oscars
Yesterday nominations came out for the 96th Annual Academy Awards.
But it’s the snubs that everyone is talking about.
Particularly the lack of nominations for director Greta Gerwig and actress Margot Robbie.
Ryan Gosling, who plays Ken and earned a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, released a statement saying, “…there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.”

#Oreo
Oreo is going above and beyond with their new flavor.
They’re launching Space Dunk Oreos, which are stuf’d with layers of blue and pink “cosmic crème” with a marshmallowy flavor and popping candies in each bite.
The cookies will also feature one of five galactic embossments and, for the first time in Oreo cookie history, a small cut out in the cookie itself, allowing fans to peer through the cookie and see the colorful creme.
They’re available for presale now at LiftOff.OREO.com.
You can also scan the QR code on the package to enter a sweepstakes for a chance to go on a six-hour journey to the edge of space in Space Perspective’s Spaceship Neptune, which is a pressurized capsule propelled by a Space Balloon.
