The “Barbenhemier” showdown has been a media story ever since the blockbusters “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” set summer box office expectations ablaze. Everything about the two films has been measured against each other, from reviews to audience attendance and, finally, to the year’s top awards.
ABC might still market the March 10 ceremony as “the ‘Barbie’ vs. ‘Oppenheimer’ showdown” to try to juice ratings. But those who know the way the Academy Awards work know the contest is already over. To be fair, this was probably always going to be the outcome. The Oscars routinely deny films that make bank at the box office the top prizes, as if broad popularity is a sign of inferior art.
