Oscars may have snubbed Greta Gerwig-Margot Robbie's duo in the major nominations, but the audience's unfathomable love for the pink-tastic live-action Barbieland has spoken for itself. On March 9, just one day before the 2024 Academy Awards, Letterboxd released its list of ‘Most Obsessively Rewatched Best Picture Nominees of the 21st Century.’

The Academy is often influenced by expensively managed PR campaigns and battered by political and social forces far outside the Academy itself, that is to say, that the prize has little to do with the recognition of artistic merit but with hitting the right chords with the industry leaders.
