“To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement,” Gosling added in his statement, before sharing that he is “so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to making this such a groundbreaking film.”

Michelle Yeoh, whowon Best Actress at the 2023 Oscarsfor her performance inEverything Everywhere All at Once, also shared some disappointment that the Best Picture-nominated movie did not make it into the leading actor and directing categories in a Wednesdayappearanceon theTodayshow.

“The only take is like, it’s so competitive out there and there is no guarantee because you’re not the only voter, you know? It’s widespread,” she said. “Thank God the movie got nominated for Best Picture. But you do think, ‘How do you get nominated for Best Picture but not Best Director and not Best Actress?’ "

Clinton’s social media statement also appeared to make reference to her loss in the2016 U.S. presidential election, in which she won thepopular voteacross the country but lost the election toDonald Trump, who won the Electoral College.
