Margot in the pink at awards

-

Not getting an Oscar nomination hasn’t stopped Margot Robbie from serving up Barbiechic as she attended the 96th Oscars Nominees Luncheon.

The Australian actor was all smiles in an all-pink outfit, despite not getting nominated for Best Actress for her performanc­e in the smash hit movie.

Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, were among her fellow Barbie co-stars Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera as they participat­ed in the Oscar tradition of luncheon before the awards.

Robbie had addressed the issue of her Oscar snub at a SAG-AFTRA panel, stating that she was more upset that Greta Gerwig wasn’t nominated for the Best Director category.

“Obviously, I think Greta should be nominated as a director,” she said.

“What she did is a once-in-acareer, once-in-a-lifetime thing. What she pulled off, it really is. But it’s been an incredible year for all the films.”

Robbie won the Trailblaze­r Award at last weekend’s AACTAs on the Gold Coast.

The University of New South Wales study tracked the eye movements of children both with and without autism while watching side-by-side images of geometric patterns and children performing yoga exercises.

The researcher­s were able to predict an autism diagnosis with an accuracy of 94.59 per cent. The study also gained a sensitivit­y of 87.50 per cent and a specificit­y of 100 per cent.
