Babylon (2022) saw one of Margot Robbie’s more transformative and daring roles to date. Playing Nellie Laroy, Robbie gave us an ambitious and fiery actress navigating the chaotic shift from silent films to sound films in 1920s Hollywood. Her portrayal of Nellie captured the vulnerability and pure energy of a woman trying to make a place for herself in an industry rife with excess and disorder.

Despite her commendable contribution to the film, many fans were left disappointed when the actress was overlooked for an Oscar nomination. The oversight ignited several conversations regarding the challenges of recognizing standout portrayals in movies that split critical opinion. Robbie’s work in Babylon was a true reflection of her versatility. The snub only highlights the intricacies of award recognition in the film industry.
