Greta Gerwig reminds everyone that, yes, she did get an Oscar nomination

Reports of Greta Gerwig’s Oscar snub have been greatly exaggerated. “A friend’s mom said to me, ‘I can’t believe you didn’t get nominated,’” the Barbie director told Time in her first public statement since the Academy failed to include her name in the shortlist for Best Director. It was an omission that seemed to shake every corner of the world; even Hillary Clinton voiced her anger in a now-infamous Tweet in which she assured Gerwig and Margot Robbie, who also failed to receive a nod for Best Actress, that they were “both so much more than Kenough.”

But Gerwig already knows that. “I said, ‘But I did. I got an Oscar nomination.’ She was like, ‘Oh, that’s wonderful for you!’ I was like, ‘I know!’” the director continued. Barbie was nominated for eight awards in total, including Best Picture—a category that includes both Gerwig and Robbie, who is credited as a producer on the film. That’s not to say that Gerwig isn’t propping her cast up in the way everyone else seems to be. “Of course I wanted it for Margot,” she said. “But I’m just happy we all get to be there together.” America Ferrera and Ryan Gosling also received nominations for their performances.

Robbie has sung a similar tune about the whole thing. “There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed,” she said during a panel at a SAG screening of the film in January. “Obviously I think Greta should be nominated as a director because what she did is a once-in-a-career, once-in-a-lifetime thing, what she pulled off, it really is,” Robbie added. “But it’s been an incredible year for all the films.”

To her credit, Gerwig clearly isn’t letting the not-really-a-snub get her down. She already has two adaptations of C.S. Lewis’ Narnia in the hopper with Netflix, at least one of which she’d written a draft for before even starting production on Barbie. “I know the right thing, for me anyway, is to keep making movies. Whatever happens, good or bad, you’ve got to keep going,” she said. “It’s never not astonishing to me that somebody gives you money to make a movie.”
