La mujer que da nombre a la muñeca Barbie está sorprendida de que Margot Robbie y Greta Gerwig no fueran nominadas a los Oscar y no entiende los desaires.

Barbara Handler, cuya madre Ruth creó el famoso juguete y la nombró como ella, le dice a TMZ que vio la película "Barbie" dos veces y le gustó aún más la segunda vez. Siente que algo está mal con que Margot y Greta no consiguieran nominaciones a los Oscar.

Aunque "Barbie" es candidata a Mejor Película, Margot no está entre las nominadas a Mejor Actriz Principal y Greta no pasó el corte como una de las cinco nominadas a Mejor Director/a, y la gente está enojada.

Barbara nos dice que siente mucho que Margot y Greta no estén recibiendo el reconocimiento que se merecen. Siente que ambas deberían ser recompensadas por su trabajo en la película porque es realmente fantástico. Francamente, hay muchos que están de acuerdo, objetivamente, "Barbie" estaba bien hecha.

Ahora, aunque Margot y Greta no recibieron nada, hay dos nominados dentro de su reparto, Ryan Gosling y America Ferrera son candidatos a Mejor Actor y Actriz de Reparto, y como hemos mencionado, la película está nominada a Mejor Película.

Barbara dice que "Barbie" debería ganar porque fue muy popular e hizo un montón de $$$ en taquilla. La Academia no siempre lo ve así, por supuesto, pero es lo que piensa ella.

Recuerden, la difunta madre de Barbara es la mujer que creó las muñecas Barbie y Ken, nombrándolas de esa forma por ella y el de Ken, por su difunto hermano.

Barbara dice que su madre habría estado encantada de que la película estuviera nominada a Mejor Película y está triste de que Ruth no esté para ver el fenómeno cinematográfico de 'Barbie'.

The woman who the Barbie doll is named after is shocked Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig weren't nominated for Academy Awards ... and she doesn't understand the snubs.

Barbara Handler, whose mother Ruth created the famous toy and named it after her, tells TMZ ... she saw the "Barbie" movie twice and loved it even more the second time, and she feels there's something wrong about Margot and Greta not getting Oscar nominations.

While "Barbie" is up for Best Picture, Margot is not among the Lead Actress nominees and Greta didn't make the cut as one of the five Best Director nominees ... and folks are pissed.

Barbara tells us she's sorry Margot and Greta aren't getting the recognition they deserve ... she feels they both should be rewarded for their work on the flick -- because it was genuinely fantastic. Frankly, there are many who agree ... objectively, 'Barbie' was well done.

Now, while Margot and Greta got the cold shoulder -- there are two acting nominees who emerged from "Barbie" ... Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera are up for Best Supporting Actor and Actress ... and as we mentioned, the movie is nominated for Best Picture.

Barbara says "Barbie" should win 'cause it was super popular and made a ton of $$$ at the box office. That's not always how the Academy sees it, of course, but that's how BH feels.

Remember ... Barbara's late mother is the woman who created the Barbie and Ken dolls ... naming the Barbie doll after her and the Ken doll after Barbara's late brother.

Barbara says her mom would have been thrilled the movie is nominated for best picture ... and she's sad Ruth isn't around to see the 'Barbie' movie phenomenon.

Se avecina una batalla por el Emmy póstumo de la estrella de telenovelas Sonya Eddy, y su familia distanciada está decidida a quitarle el trofeo a su amiga y socia productora.

Así es la cosa, Sonya murió a finales de 2022 y ganó un Emmy la semana pasada por su trabajo en "Hospital General", con su socio productor y amigo Tyler Ford aceptando el premio en su nombre.

Ahora, los miembros de la familia de Sonya quieren el premio en su poder y están enojados porque no se les ofreció recibirlo en primer lugar.

El hermano menor de Sonya, Robbie Eddy, le dice a TMZ que la Academia de Televisión no le dijo a su familia que iba a ganar un Emmy de antemano, y Tyler les ha dicho que va a mantener su trofeo.

Nos dicen que toda la familia de Sonya está ahora trabajando para conseguir el Emmy y le enviaron una carta a la Academia de Televisión.

Mientras la familia de Sonya espera una respuesta de la Academia, nos dicen que sienten que todo esto es una bofetada en la cara y que todavía están de duelo, y esta disputa está haciendo que el proceso sea más difícil. Además, los Emmys se celebraron unas semanas después del primer aniversario de su muerte.

El hermano de Sonya dice que la familia no tiene planes de emprender ningún tipo de acción legal contra Tyler o la Academia, no quieren manchar su memoria con una demanda, solo esperan que Tyler haga "lo correcto" y entregue su Emmy.

Si los Eddys consiguen el trofeo, nos dicen que la madre de 84 años de Sonya se quedará con el premio, la familia dice que mamá patrocinó la carrera de Sonya en Hollywood.

Ahora, también hemos oído que Sonya en realidad se había distanciado de algunos miembros de la familia cuando ella murió. No se llevaba bien con su hermano porque estaban luchando sobre quién iba a proporcionar y cuidar a su madre, que tiene Alzheimer y demencia.

El hermano de Sonya nos dice que estaban trabajando en reparar su relación poco antes de que ella muriera.

There's a battle brewing over soap opera star Sonya Eddy's posthumous Daytime Emmy ... with her estranged family determined to take the trophy back from her friend and producing partner.

Here's the deal ... Sonya died at the end of 2022 and she won a Daytime Emmy last month for her work on "General Hospital," with her producing partner and friend Tyler Ford accepting the award on her behalf.

Now, Sonya's family members want the award in their possession ... and they're pissed it wasn't given to them in the first place.

Sonya's younger brother, Robbie Eddy, tells TMZ ... the Television Academy didn't tell her family she was going to be winning an Emmy beforehand, and Tyler's told them he's going to keep her trophy.

We're told Sonya's whole family is now working to get the Emmy ... sending a letter to the Television Academy.

While Sonya's kin waits to hear back from the Academy, we're told they feel this whole thing is a slap in the face -- they're still grieving, and this dispute is making that process harder. Plus, the Emmys happened shortly before the 1-year anniversary of her death.

Sonya's brother says the family has no plans to take any kind of legal action against Tyler or the Academy ... they don't want to tarnish her memory with a lawsuit, they're just hoping Tyler does the "right thing" and hands over her Emmy.

If the Eddys do get the trophy, we're told Sonya's 84-year-old mother will hold onto the award ... the family says her mom sponsored Sonya's Hollywood career.

Now, we've also heard Sonya was actually estranged from some family members when she died -- she wasn't getting along with her brother because they were fighting over who was going to provide and care for their mom, who has Alzheimer's and dementia.

Sonya's brother tells us they were working on repairing their relationship not long before she died.

This year's Oscar nominations are out, and while a lot of people are happy for those who got the nod -- there were a lot of others left out in the cold ... also known as classic snubs.

Indeed, those who were not nominated for an Academy Award this year are getting just as much chatter as those who did -- and right off the bat, there are some standouts on who was excluded as a nominee, especially on the acting front -- y'know ... the actual stars.

For example, Leo DiCaprio missed out on a Best Actor nod ... even though some assumed he was a shoo-in for 'Killers of the Flower Moon.' Charles Melton, Julianne Moore and Natalie Portman were also kept at bay, despite some stellar acting in 'May December.'

Other snubs being discussed ... Zac Efron ('Iron Claw'), Dominic Sessa ('The Holdovers'), Taraji P. Henson ('The Color Purple'), Rachel McAdams ('Are You There God?'), Barry Keoghan ('Saltburn'), Cailee Spaeny ('Priscilla') and Teyana Taylor ('A Thousand and One').

Of course, there's also the Margot Robbie snub ... which is glaring compared to Ryan Gosling's nod. BTW, Greta Gerwig was also left off the Best Director nomination list.

There's lots of other snubs in non-acting categories -- but these are the ones people are up in arms about the most on Twitter (er, X). Granted, this indignation goes down each year ... and it's even been happening since the old days, dating back decades at this point.

Hey, you can't win 'em all ... better luck next year!

Este martes se dieron a conocer los nominados a los Oscar este año y aunque mucha gente está contenta por aquellos que recibieron reconocimiento, hay un montón que se siente dejado de lado, o que les propinaron un conocido y clásico desaire.

De hecho, los que no fueron nominados están siendo tan comentados como los que sí lo están y, de entrada, hay algunos que destacan por su exclusión de las nominaciones, especialmente en el terreno de la interpretación, ya saben, las estrellas de verdad.

Por ejemplo, Leo DiCaprio se quedó fuera de la nominación a Mejor Actor, a pesar de que algunos lo daban por seguro por "Killers of the Flower Moon". Charles Melton, Julianne Moore y Natalie Portman también se quedaron fuera, a pesar de sus grandes actuaciones en "May December".

Otros desaires, Zac Efron ('Iron Claw'), Dominic Sessa ('The Holdovers'), Taraji P. Henson ('El color púrpura'), Rachel McAdams ('Are You There God?'), Barry Keoghan ('Saltburn'), Cailee Spaeny ('Priscilla') y Teyana Taylor ('A Thousand and One').

Por supuesto, también está el desaire de Margot Robbie, que es flagrante en comparación con el guiño de Ryan Gosling. Por cierto, Greta Gerwig también se quedó fuera de la lista de nominados a Mejor Director.

Hay muchos otros desaires en categorías no relacionadas con la actuación, pero estos son los que más indignan a la gente en Twitter (o X). Por supuesto, esta indignación ocurre todos los años y ha pasado desde los viejos tiempos, lo que ya se remonta a décadas.

The relationship between Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco is so serious that she's now introducing him to her fatherly figure TV costars Steve Martin and Martin Short.

TMZ obtained these photos of Selena and Benny interacting with Steve and Martin on the red carpet at the 75th Annual Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles last Monday.

As you may know, Selena, Steve, and Martin all star in the hit Hulu show, "Only Murders In The Building," which was up for 11 Emmy Awards, but snagged only one statue for Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Program (Half-Hour).

Eyewitnesses tell us ... the meeting between the four celebs occurred just prior to the kick-off of the gala event. Selena was first to approach Steve and Martin on the red carpet, giving them big hugs before chatting with them a bit.

Our sources say she then introduced her record producer boyfriend, Benny, to her costars, while the three men shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.

Sources tell us everyone got along great and it seemed as if Selena was presenting her new beau for the first time to a couple of fatherly figures in her life. Of course, we can't be sure if they had ever met before this encounter.

After talking amongst each other for about five minutes, the foursome left the red carpet to go inside the theater for the awards show.

Prince Harry gave a shout-out to his late mother Princess Diana Friday night as he accepted an award in LA for his time in the British Army as a copilot and gunner.

The Duke of Sussex strolled out on stage at the "Living Legends of Aviation" event in the Beverly Hills Hilton to receive the honor from actor John Travolta, who draped a medallion necklace around Harry's neck. As you may have heard, Harry spent 10 years in the British military, ascending to the rank of Captain.

During his acceptance speech, Harry traveled back in time to Travolta's 1985 meeting with Diana at a White House dinner attended by then-President Ronald Reagan.

Harry said, “I was just a one-year-old when you danced with my mum at the White House and now look at us,” referring to Travolta.

Recalling the moment, Travolta responded, “Now I see you again under a new circumstance, on a new stage.”

Harry replied, "The only thing left to do is… not dance together but fly together," a clear reference to Travolta also being a pilot.

The two then exited the stage, presumably to make plans to go flying together.

El príncipe Harry recordó a su difunta madre, la princesa Diana, el viernes por la noche mientras aceptaba un premio en Los Ángeles por su tiempo en el ejército británico como copiloto y artillero.

El duque de Sussex se subió al escenario del evento "Living Legends of Aviation" en el Beverly Hills Hilton para recibir el premio del actor John Travolta, quien le colgó un medallón alrededor del cuello. Como habrán oído, Harry pasó 10 años en el ejército británico, ascendiendo al rango de capitán.

Durante su discurso de aceptación, Harry viajó en el tiempo y repasó el encuentro de Travolta con Diana en 1985, en una cena en la Casa Blanca a la que asistió el entonces Presidente Ronald Reagan.

Harry dijo: "Yo era solo un niño de un año cuando bailaste con mi madre en la Casa Blanca y ahora míranos", refiriéndose a Travolta.

Recordando el momento, Travolta respondió: "Ahora te vuelvo a ver en una nueva circunstancia, en un nuevo escenario".

Harry replicó: "Lo único que queda por hacer es... no bailar juntos, sino volar juntos", una clara referencia a que Travolta también es piloto.

Ambos salieron luego del escenario, presumiblemente para hacer planes de volar juntos.

George Clinton's forever etched in Hollywood history now ... because he just got his star on a famous stretch of pavement with A-listers' names up and down the boulevard.

The P-Funk legend was just honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... and his Friday ceremony drew a huge crowd, with an even bigger celebration. We're not kidding either ... there were massive swaths of people lining the block to peep this thing.

Of course, George commanded attention with his sparkling, colorful and bedazzled outfit ... seriously, ya gotta see his getup ... he's shining from his shoes, to his pants, to his shirt, to his jacket, and all the way up to his headwear. It's amazing that this icon is 82.

As you know ... George has been leaving his mark on music since the 1960s ... he was huge in the 1970s and had a rebirth recently in the 'Trolls' movie franchise ... and now the homie is finally getting his due from La La Land with a certified star on the ground.

Just a quick list of his and his band's hits ... "Give Up the Funk," "Flash Light," "Aqua Boogie," "Atomic Dog," "Can You Get to That," "Mothership Connection," and so many more.

7:53 AM PT -- A BAFTA spokesperson tells TMZ ... "We were very sorry to hear of Roy Battersby’s recent passing - he was a renowned and trailblazing director. Roy Battersby was awarded the Alan Clarke Award in 1996, a BAFTA Special Television Award. We confirm he will be honoured in our forthcoming BAFTA Television Awards in May, and on the In Memoriam Section on our website."

Kate Beckinsale says the folks running BAFTA can't make any promises when it comes to honoring her late stepfather -- which she thinks is outrageous ... and she may be right.

The actress tore the British academy a new one Thursday in an IG post -- in which she alleged producers for the annual award show (basically, the UK version of the Oscars/Globes) told her the recently late Roy Battersby might not be recognized in their program.

KB posted a pic of her stepdad receiving a lifetime achievement BAFTA award years ago for work he'd done in television across the pond, and Kate went on to air her frustration.

She writes, "Today BAFTA told me they ‘could not guarantee’ he would be included in their “in memoriam” tribute , to honour the industry members we have lost. So a man dead less than a week somehow has to audition in front of a committee after a decades long career (in which he has been awarded from said organisation the highest accolade they have) to decide IF his death is worth mentioning."

As if that wasn't scathing enough, Kate adds ... "I am paralysed ,sick and sickened and I will honour him and his work every day of my life." She went on to say her mother, Judy Loe, has been quietly battling cancer behind the scenes too ... making this perceived snub worse.

One last final dig at BAFTA from Kate ... "[T]hanks again , BAFTA for your horribly cold email." Oof, talk about honest -- something tells us Roy will make it in there after all.

The "Friends" cast wasn't at the Emmys Monday night to honor the late Matthew Perry ... and now we know why they bailed.

Emmy producers are now explaining that while Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer all bagged an invite, they opted not to come together onstage ... cause it was just too soon after Matthew's sudden death in October.

Emmy's EP Jesse Collins tells The Hollywood Reporter he totally gets it from their POV -- they're mourning someone they were very close to for years.

He says while they can't speak on their behalf, they must respect that the "Friends" cast was their own little family.

Matthew was the last person to appear on screen during the Emmys' in memoriam segment honoring fallen stars .... with singer Charlie Puth transitioning from "See You Again" to a stripped-back version of the "Friends" theme song, "I'll Be There for You."

TMZ broke the story ... Matthew was found unresponsive in his jacuzzi on Oct. 28 after playing 2 hours of pickleball at Riviera Country Club near his home in Pacific Palisades. First responders rushed to the property on a cardiac arrest call, and he was declared deceased on the scene after an apparent drowning.

The L.A. County Medical Examiner's Office released the toxicology report in December ... he died from "the acute effects of ketamine," a drug used to treat depression and is also used as a recreational drug.

El elenco de "Friends" no estuvo en la ceremonia de los Emmys el lunes por la noche para honrar al fallecido Matthew Perry y ahora sabemos por qué se lo perdieron.

Los productores de los Emmy están explicando que, si bien Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc y David Schwimmer fueron invitados, ellos optaron por no subir al escenario juntos, pues era demasiado pronto después de la repentina muerte de Matthew en octubre.

El productor ejecutivo de Emmy, Jesse Collins, le dijo a The Hollywood Reporter que lo entiende totalmente, pues aún están de luto por alguien que fue muy cercano durante años.

Él dice que si bien no pueden hablar en su nombre, deben respetar que el elenco de "Friends" era su propia pequeña familia.

Matthew fue la última persona en aparecer en pantalla durante el segmento in memoriam de los Emmys en honor a las estrellas que fallecieron en el último tiempo. El cantante Charlie Puth hizo la transición de la canción "See You Again" a una versión el piano de "I'll Be There for You", el tema principal de "Friends".

TMZ dio la noticia, Matthew fue encontrado sin respuesta en su jacuzzi el 28 de octubre después de jugar 2 horas de pickleball en Riviera Country Club cerca de su casa en Pacific Palisades. Los primeros auxilios se apresuraron en llegar a la propiedad por un paro cardíaco, y luego fue declarado muerto en la escena después de un aparente ahogamiento.

La Oficina del Médico Forense del Condado de Los Ángeles dio a conocer el informe toxicológico en diciembre. Matthew murió de "los efectos agudos de la ketamina", un medicamento utilizado para tratar la depresión y que también se utiliza como una droga recreativa.

Breonna Taylor's mom is thanking Niecy Nash-Betts for mentioning her late daughter while winning her first Primetime Emmy ... praising her for using her platform for justice.

Niecy won the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in an anthology series, and her powerful acceptance speech prompted a standing ovation ... with Niecy saying, "I accept this award on behalf of every Black and Brown woman who have gone unheard, yet overpoliced, like Glenda Cleveland, like Sandra Bland, like Breonna Taylor!”

Breonna's mother, Tamika Palmer, tells TMZ … it's "amazing" Niecy used her big moment to  "acknowledge women, including my daughter, who have tragically fallen victim to police brutality."

Niecy also told the Emmys audience she feels it's her responsibility as an artist to speak truth to power, and she plans to do so until the day she dies.

Breonna's mom adds ... "The lack of accountability for these injustices is undeniable, and it is crucial for us to keep saying their names and reminding people of the profound impact of their loss."

As you know, Breonna was shot and killed by cops in Louisville during a botched raid back in March 2020, and her death sparked demonstrations against racial injustice and policing.

Tina Fey y Amy Poehler revivieron el "SNL "Weekend Update" durante los Emmys el lunes y hemos descubierto que el segmento se debió a un esfuerzo conjunto entre la NBC y Fox.

Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que los productores de los Emmy en Fox se acercaron a la gente de "Saturday Night Live" en la NBC para un renacimiento del legado, con ambas partes decidiendo que quieren resucitar el popular segmento de Tina y Amy mientras presentaban el premio Emmy al Especial de Variedades en Directo.

Nos dicen que FOX y NBC pensaron que el dúo era la mejor opción para llenar el espacio, ya que han hecho un montón de divertidas apariciones en vivo.

En cuanto a un regreso oficial a "SNL" ... fuentes nos dicen que no hay planes inmediatos de Tina y Amy para volver a los sketchs comedia.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler 's revived 'SNL' "Weekend Update" was one of the big treats at the Emmy Awards ... and proof positive competing networks can work together with great results.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the Emmys producers over at Fox approached the "Saturday Night Live" peeps at NBC to discuss a legacy revival segment -- and both parties decided having Tina and Amy reunite in their old 'Weekend Update' roles would be awesome.

If ya missed it, they pulled it off while presenting the Emmy award for Live Variety Special. We're told both networks wanted Amy and Tina to do it -- not only because of their 'SNL' chops -- but, also because they've teamed up for so many live entertainment gigs over the years.

As for the possibility they have an official reunion on an episode of 'SNL' -- one source says there's no immediate plans.
