John Stamos shows support for director Greta Gerwig and Star Margot Robbie‘s Oscar snubs for the hit movie “Barbie”.
The 60-year-old Full House alum posted a video to Instagram with the statement, “This one goes out to Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie who produced a film that proved to be both a critical success and a cultural phenomenon, digging into feminist themes through the lens of Barbie and challenging patriarchal norms.”
Stamos went on, “This movie not only made over a billion dollars in revenue, but it also created an emotional connection with the audience. Ironically, though, the Academy refused on both of the women. This evening, everybody should watch Barbie again”.

The lines used in the video are from the scene where Barbie asks Ken to disappear while they travel to the real world. In the backyard recreation, Stamos attempts to keep himself occupied while McHugh, the actress from Vampire Diaries, looks after their plants.
