From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Award season is well and truly underway, and Barbie continues to dominate the headlines. If you’ve yet to see the film or want to return to Barbie Land, you’ll be pleased to know the movie is now available to stream from the comfort of your own home.
Ultimately, Barbie won the ‘Barbenheimer’ race, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2023 – it raked in more than $1bn at the box office, setting records for female-led and female-directed films. However, with the recent announcement of the 2024 Oscar nominations, Oppenheimer came out on top, with 13 nominations.
Although, Barbie didn’t go away empty-handed, gaining eight nominations, including for Best Picture, as well as for an Actor in a Supporting Role, thanks to Ryan Gosling’s more than ‘kenough’ performance as Barbie’s Ken. Barbie’s “I’m Just Ken” was also nominated for Best Original Song.
Despite this well-deserved acclaim, fans are outraged at the apparent snub of both the lead actress, Margot Robbie, and director Greta Gerwig in their respective categories. Ryan Gosling even released a statement expressing his confusion and disappointment.
But whether you live in a Dream House or a Mojo Dojo Casa House, you can now bring the joys of Barbie into your home ahead of Hollywood’s biggest night of the year, and see all the brilliant nominees at work. Here’s everything you need to know about streaming, buying or renting Barbie.
