Eight months ago, two cinematic giants, Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” and Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer,” took the world by storm. Released on the same day, these films not only captured the audience's attention but also sparked a cultural phenomenon dubbed "Barbenheimer." This unique pairing set the stage for an awards season filled with excitement and anticipation, with both movies vying for recognition at the Oscars.
