Margot Robbie, already a well-established name in Hollywood, is now poised to take the 2024 Oscars by storm with her roles in “Barbie” and “Saltburn.” As the year winds down, the successes of these two major projects position her for potential multiple nominations at the prestigious awards.

Robbie’s involvement in these films not only as an actress but also as a producer sets the stage for a diverse range of accolades.

Dual Roles in Barbie and Saltburn Elevate Robbie’s Chances

In “Barbie,” Margot Robbie doesn’t just star as the lead; she also serves as a lead producer. Her portrayal of a self-aware Barbie dealing with an existential crisis has garnered much attention, marking Greta Gerwig as the only female director to cross the $1 billion threshold at the box office. This dual role significantly boosts Robbie’s chances for Oscar nominations in both the Best Actress and Best Picture categories.

Additionally, Robbie’s involvement in “Saltburn,” a psychological drama thriller directed by Oscar-winner Emerald Fennell, further solidifies her standing. The film, which has already received a positive critical reception, including a 79% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, showcases Robbie’s range as an actress. Her previous nominations for “I, Tonya” and “Bombshell” already establish her as a formidable contender in the Oscars race.

A Competitive Year for Multiple Nominations

The year 2024 is shaping up to be highly competitive for the Oscars, with several actresses potentially receiving multiple nominations. Alongside Robbie, Emma Stone and Natalie Portman are also in the running for multiple nods. Stone, already an Oscar winner and nominee, could receive nominations for Best Picture and Best Actress for “Poor Things,” which she both starred in and produced. Natalie Portman, acclaimed for her role in “Black Swan,” might see double nominations for her work in the comedy-drama “May December,” which she also produced.

These actresses are following in the footsteps of Frances McDormand, who achieved a similar feat with “Nomadland” in 2021. As the Oscars approach, the film industry and audiences alike eagerly anticipate whether Robbie, along with her peers, will make a significant impact at the upcoming Academy Awards, potentially joining the ranks of multi-nominated and multi-award-winning actresses.
