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.

Judd Apatow has criticized the Oscars' decision to classify Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" as an adapted screenplay, arguing that it should be considered original since there was no pre-existing story, only the character of Barbie. Despite this, the Academy has placed "Barbie" in the adapted category due to the characters being pre-existing dolls, while the Writers Guild of America recognizes it as original. Gerwig, a three-time Oscar nominee, co-wrote the script with Noah Baumbach, and it will only be eligible for votes in the adapted screenplay category during the official Oscar nomination voting on January 11.
