At the 81st Golden Globes, the film 'Oppenheimer' outshone 'Barbie' by securing five awards compared to Barbie's two. Golden Globes host Jo Koy's joke about 'Barbie' being about 'a plastic doll with big boobies' sparked controversy, but director Greta Gerwig responded diplomatically, acknowledging that Barbie was the first mass-produced doll with breasts. Gerwig also expressed 'terror' over her upcoming Netflix adaptation of 'The Chronicles of Narnia'. Amidst the backlash, Steve Martin defended Koy, and Gerwig highlighted Barbie's role as a character meant for projection, with no inherent story or character traits.
