This is the fourth win and seventh nomination for Greta Gerwig. This is the second win and sixth nomination for Noah Baumbach. Gerwig was previously won for directing & writing Lady Bird (2017) & writing Little Women (2019). She was also nominated for writing and as a member of the ensemble of Frances Ha (2013) & directing Little Women (2019). Noah Baumbach previously won for writing The Squid and the Whale (2005). He was also nominated for writing Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), Frances Ha (2013), directing the documentary De Palma (2016) & with the ensemble of Kicking and Screaming (1995).

Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have been a great film making duo for the past 10-15 years making some of the most exciting films whether both were involved in writing, directing or simply acting. The two both a great team together and apart really brought such brilliance to their screenplay for the Barbie movie. I had my doubts about this film prior to watching it which shocks me because in Gerwig I trust. Whether it was the writing risks of taking the Barbie brand and managing to praise it and call out its faults or the great lines of dialogue throughout there was just so much to love about the film from the strong work of Gerwig & Baumbach.
