The feud between Barbie and Oppenheimer was reignited at the Oscars, after Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling spoke out about their mid-summer box office competition. Both movies were released on July 21, 2023, drawing comparisons, despite their different genres. Barbie tells the story of a plastic woman who enters the real world and discovers that she has not made the impact that she expected. Oppenheimer depicts the life of J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Father of the Atomic Bomb. Their rivalry seemingly ended after Oppenheimer achieved over $900 million at the box office, while Barbie earned $1.4 billion.
At the Oscars, however, Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling elected to bring new life to the rivalry. At the Oscars, Screen Rant can report that Blunt, who was a member of the Oppenheimer cast, proudly stated that “It wasn’t much of a rivalry.” Beside her, Gosling, who played Ken in Barbie, proclaimed “You were riding Barbie’s coattails all summer.” The two were presenting together on-stage as they playfully joked about their rivalry.
