Judd Apatow Criticizes Oscars for Considering 'Barbie' in Best Adapted Screenplay Category
TL;DR Summary
Judd Apatow has criticized the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for classifying Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" film as an adapted screenplay, arguing that it is an original work since there was no preexisting story or material. This classification issue has been seen before with films like "Toy Story 3." The Writers Guild of America disagrees with the Academy, nominating "Barbie" as an original screenplay for its awards. Gerwig co-wrote the screenplay with Noah Baumbach, and official Oscar nomination voting is set for January 11.
