The former first lady, senator, secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate posted a reassuring message on Instagram for star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig, who on Tuesday learned they were shut out of the best actress and best director categories, respectively.

Clinton wrote: “Greta and Margot, While it can sting to win the box office but not take home the gold, your millions of fans love you. You’re both so much more than Kenough.” Clinton then added the hashtag #HillaryBarbie.

While the blockbuster film received 8 Oscar nominations–including best picture — its lack of nominations in those two categories have arguably caused more blowback than any award show snub in recent memory.

On Tuesday, Barbie star Ryan Gosling, who was nominated for best supporting actor, also weighed in on the controversy with a detailed statement:

“I am extremely honored to be nominated by my colleagues alongside such remarkable artists in a year of so many great films,” the actor began. “And I never thought I’d be saying this, but I’m also incredibly honored and proud that it’s for portraying a plastic doll named Ken.”

The actor continued: “But there is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no Barbie movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film. No recognition would be possible for anyone on the film without their talent, grit and genius. To say that I’m disappointed that they are not nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement.”

He continued: “Against all odds with nothing but a couple of soulless, scantily clad and thankfully crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, they broke our hearts, they pushed the culture and they made history. Their work should be recognized along with the other very deserving nominees.”

“Having said that,” Gosling concluded, “I am so happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to making this such a groundbreaking film.”

Robbie could pick up an Oscar for the film as one of the film’s producers in the best picture category, while Gerwig was nominated for best adapted screenplay with co-writer Noah Baumbach.
